This class will attempt to delve a little deeper into how the brain relates to what we do. However, I do hope you ll understand why we have to have salt in our heads to think. Most of the time in class I will talk about how the brain determines behavior. Also, you will hopefully be more prepared to handle brain-related situations you will inevitably face in the future, such as a family member with Parkinson s or Alzheimer s, or a child with a certain type of developmental disorder.

Attendance is a good thing.
I will not give points for attendance, per se, but attendance will definitely affect your grade. We will cover some material in class that is not in the books. Some of the exam questions may come directly from things we ve discussed in class. There may also be numerous opportunities to obtain points during class. This includes in-class points.
