Reviews of professor Jamie Hanson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Maybe it was just because of covid but I honestly didnt pay attention at all in his class but I still got a good grade. It was really boring

Jamie is one of the best professors I've had at Pitt. I can tell he really puts effort into his lectures and really cares about what he teaches. He is so nice and gives so many opportunities to keep your grade up. Tests are super fair and gives quick/easy homework and ways to get points. I highly recommend taking one of his classes if you can.

Jamie is one of the best profs I've ever had. He's caring and genuinely wants you to succeed as long as you come to class! Lectures are super chill and relaxed; you can literally talk to him about anything. I would def take him again if I had the chance

Emotion and the Brain is interesting & easy. Jamie is an engaging lecturer, the topic is a good mix of emotion theory and neuroscience, and there are so many opportunities for extra credit. Exams are pretty basic and he gives a thorough study guide. Jamie will also help with stuff like grad school applications, personal statements, etc. Great prof!

emotion and the brain is a really cool class! he is reasonable with what he expects you to know. homework is easy; lots of extra credit offered. midterm and final are fair (MC, short answer, T/F) and you get a notecard to use during the test. hightly recommend!

Jamie is the best psych professor I've had at Pitt. He is extremely passionate about the field, but also hilarious and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. Don't let that fool you, he is clearly brilliant. Definitely recommend taking him and this class. Tests are slightly harder than you would think, but not an issue if you prepare.
