Reviews of professor Jennifer Beshel

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Quizzes/exams make up all total points but quizzes arent timed, open note, & only 5 ?'s. Theres 2-3 a week though so u just have to remember to take them. Also, if u do well on the first exams she might make the other exams open note which is nice. Only thing that threw me is exams are all "which of the following is false" format but only 20 ?'s.

One of my favorite teachers by far. Slideshow and lecture heavy, but a great teacher. takes 10-20 minutes to review previous lecture which gives you the main thing she wants you to learn and is great to study for tests. Graded by 3 tests and the final, and tophat. Preclass quizzes offer up to 5% extra credit but can be a little tricky. take her!

This class is great and i would def recommend her, she is great at explaining the complex system of yer brain. however, be advised the format of the final is horrifying(abcde scantron w/ about 20 different combos of those 5 letters) and was more molecularly based(think cell bio) than it is big picture. extra credit, 3 exams, final, tophat.

All of her exams are in the format "which of these statements is false?" and are max 25 questions which make it harder to get a higher grade. It was completely asynchronous and I felt very detached from my classmates. The material was difficult but she explains it pretty clearly. You will have to devote a lot of time to her class.

She makes hard material interesting and understandable. Everyone who says the class is hard just didn't study and didn't talk to her. 5% extra credit

Dr. Beshel is literally one of the best professors I've ever had. She's an amazing teacher and is hilarious. She has made my college experience so much more than I hoped for. Her teaching style is easy to follow and the exams have no surprises. She gives you a lot of chances for extra credit as well. I'll be taking her again if I can!

Getting an A in this class is difficult, but it is also straight forward (just study the slides). Do NOT buy the book. The final is written, but she gave us a study guide of 20 questions, and then 10 were taken DIRECTLY from that sheet. Im confused why people said they didn't know what to study she literally gave us the final exam ahead of time.

BEST neuro teacher BY FAR! Material is tough but she teaches in a way thats very easy to follow. She reviews for the first 10 mins to go over the previous lectures material--GREAT as study tools for final. She will give you ALL you need to do well, but you have to put in work too. Pay attention in lecture & you'll do well. Shes an amazing teacher.
