Reviews of professor Michael McDannald

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
McDannald is excellent for Behavioral Neuroscience. The exams as well as his expectations: extremely straightforward. Very possible to do well if you literally do exactly what he suggests you do to get the A (read the book, understand the emphasized things in lecture, tie everything together.) Great choice for the most important neuro course.

Professor McDannald is clearly knowledgeable in what he teaches.  The quizzes are doable - just do the readings and listen to lectures.  However, his projects were very challenging because he was very vague in his instructions - he left gaps for us to fill in, which made it difficult to understand what he was looking for.

Easy to do well because your entire grade is based off of 11 online quizzes. The quizzes still weren't easy, but you can figure them out and he gives you a chance to retake them if you need to. All slides are posted ahead of time and lectures are recorded.

The grade in the class is composed of online quizzes and two projects. Quizzes are rather easy if you watch the lectures, but projects are a lot more challenging since you need to use multiple lectures and address multiple aspects all on one paper. Make sure you address every point he notes in detail and you should get a decent grade.

Attendance isn't required, which he says that the start of every class. He doesn't hold office hours, but cancels class once a month to have a Q and A session during class time. Your entire grade is 11 exams completed independently. Its basically an online class. Easy A but I gained nothing from it. Disappointing for a class I was excited to take.
