<p>Which of these professors should I take a course with?</p>
<p>Pearlmutter (Psychology of Language), Gurdin (Learning and Motivation), Kimball (Sports Psychology), Ricci/Potter (Psychobiology)</p>
<p>I have checked Ratemyprofessors and the Trace surveys but I'm still unsure as they all seem to have an equal balance of pros and cons. Does anyone here have any personal experiences in these courses or with these professors? I don't want the course to be too difficult or stressful as I'm taking a psych course as an elective... Any suggestions or comments would be greatly, greatly appreciated!! Thank you! :)</p>
<p>Psychobio is mostly neuroscience, psych, and bio students, and the psych students always say it’s one of their hardest classes of the semester (bio/BNS say easiest, but it’s not a total cakewalk), so expect it to be more work than typical psych electives. Ricci isn’t great, but she’s not terrible… she’s just sorta (a lot) crazy and her lectures are a bit convoluted. The class is really best with Melloni, who is The Man.</p>
<p>People really like Gurdin and I’ve heard her recommended by a lot of upperclassmen, especially for behavioral therapy type courses, but I don’t have any personal experience with her or the other profs. I think the first 3 electives would be fine as far as work intensity for an elective, and if you have any college biology background psychobio would be no problem.</p>
<p>does anybody know about psychobio with Michele Zee? Unfortunately the other class was full so i took the only option i had for psychobio (i’m a bio major with a psych minor so i might as well take the class), but i’ve heard Zee is pretty rough on exams… anybody?</p>
