Reviews of professor Julia Blau

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures are in-depth but need to attend class because if you miss one you'll be completely lost. A lot of different assignments but it helps balance out your grade. Exams are long but open note. Answers things in class but rude when you try to ask questions outside of class. No exceptions for late or incomplete work.

I put off taking this class due to some poor reviews, but I adore this woman! She's so excited about her topics, she loves answering questions and doesn't mind if we get off topic. She's very knowledgeable about biopsych, lectures were so interesting. 3 online exams. They require brain power but I wouldn't call them hard. No homework.

I am honestly sad I didn't have Blau until I reached grad level, because I want to take every class she's got! only 3 tests, 90% covered in lecture. Loves questions and class discussions, makes material interesting and fun, most importantly clear. Knows her shit. Only hw are the Socratic hours before the exams, which are a great help.

Definitely knows this topic and loves to talk about. She will repeat herself as many times needed so everyone could understand. Lectures get posted but you get more info actually going to class. 3 exams overall and you do have a short amount to complete, so study and learn info.

I love professor Blau! She is very passionate about what she is teaching, if you need her to go back over something she will, and is very willing to meet and talke with students. Her teaching style is amazing, if you have a chance to take a class with her, do it!!

Professor Blau is one of my favorite professors in the psych dept. She's super funny and kind. She's always willing to go over something multiple times if you need help. However, she is a very VERY tough grader for your research paper. There's HW once a week and 3 main tests that are all fairly graded though. Love her.

TAKE DR. BLAU FOR BIOPSYCH! You will not regret it, as long as you attend the lectures. You learn so much, you are tested on only the materials covered in class. You can ask many questions and you will want to - it is a joy to learn from Dr. B. If you really are in school to learn, you will value this class. Answer EVERY PART of essays on the exam!

Dr. Blau is awesome! She is funny, down to earth, and the course was not too lecture heavy. Due dates and what you will be graded on is given at the beginning of the course, so there are no surprises. She is very approachable and willing to give anyone extra help if they need it! Would definitely recommend

She makes sure you actually learn things. She is truly amazing at getting hard concepts to stick in your head. She repeats her self plentiful times and will explain things as much as you want her to. Not the easiest class, but if you take very good notes you will do just fine.
