Reviews of professor Austin Lim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Lim has been a phenomenal introduction to neuroscience courses. He has lots of interesting applications for all the material he covers, and he even wrote his own textbook so that students could save money. If you have a question he doesn't know the answer to, he will figure it out, even if it's on an unrelated topic. Overall, a great professor!

One of the best professors here at DePaul University. You can tell he cares a lot for his students and has a way of making all the information stick. There are weekly quizzes, but they are super easy and help boost your grade. You will do great if you take good notes and skim through the book. Amazing teacher and I would love to take it again.

What an amazing educator Dr.Lim is. Nurtures students but still challenges them to learn, always finds incredibly entertaining ways to show the inner workings of the brain. He was also very much open to meeting outside of class to help with my future planning as a Neuroscientist. 5/5 because I can't give him a 10/5. Amazing.

There are daily reading assignments, 1 midterm, and a final paper. The reading assignments are easy however he takes points off for not using a certain word. Other than that, the midterm is easy and the final paper is a research paper on a drug of your choosing. He also grades really fast and provides excellent feedback.

Professor Lim is a good lecturer and he is knowledgable on the subject but he definitely has ALOT of drawbacks. He is not accommodating at all. I missed a class one time and I emailed him that I had a really bad tummy ache but he was like he cant do anything to help make up the class work. He is also TEST heavy and grades harshly with no feedback.

This is one of the best professors at DePaul.. If you ever have the chance to take a class with him, you absolutely should. The lectures are engaging and hilarious, the textbook is completely free (which he gathered a bunch of experts to write to make sure learning is accessible to everyone), and he will never try to trick you on tests or hw.
