Reviews of professor Michael Goard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best professors I've had for a biology class here. Lectures are easy to follow and well-organized. Concepts are clear, and he's very responsive when something in the class needs adjusting or clarification. Weekly structure is great -- there's one mandatory participation lecture, and one discussion section where you can ask questions.

Do what he asked and keep up with reading assignments along with lectures, you will learn a lot of interesting facts about brain as well as pass the class. Professor Goard really cares about the students and wants them to learn. He is very straightforward with his expectations.

Goard was fine. Lectures are online, class time is used for a "discussion" which is mostly just him zooming through slides at high speed. He is friendly and approachable, but his teaching was mediocre for me personally. You do have to read the textbook to do well on the exams. Neurobiology didn't really click for me but he tried his best.
