Psych 2N03 advice!
Hi,
I've looked in the course reviews for Psych 2N03 (which was 2D03 prior to 2009) and haven't found much info.
Has anyone taken the course last year (2009)? If so, how difficult was the course, material, exams etc? Would you recommend it as an elective?
Any advice would be awesome!

Hello,
I took the course last year and it was hands down the best course of the semester. People complain because Ullal tends to ask a lot of small details (he has high expectations for sure) but on the flipside, he says everything you need to know in class (except for maybe a Q or 2 from the textbook-don't waste your time reading it) and is always willing to go over any concepts in his office hours. He also tends to give hints about what matters and what doesn't for the midterms. Definitely keep up with your notes (I recommend cue cards) cause the amount can be overwhelming if you wait till the end but it's very interesting material and if you GO TO CLASS and actually try you can definitely get at least a 10 if not higher.

I agree I regret not going to some of the classes as it is alot of info. it is such an interesting course but by the end there are so many diorders and brain regions that it is easy to mix up so definatley make a chart to summarize your notes so you can compare across lectures (Ataxia, aphasia, agnosia, apraxia, can all start to sound the same if you are not dilligent in studying). The assignments and tests are pretty fair if you study and have a good mix of knowledge and application. This course definatley makes hearing about common and uncommon neurological diseases very interesting!!

Ahh, I just wish it wasn't conflicting with another required course.=/ How similar is the course to Psych 2F03? It says that they're anti-requisites on the undergrad timetable.

I'm guessing they're pretty similar, because in the Undergraduate Calendar, for H. Psych you can only take 3 units from Psych 2D03, 2F03 and 2N03, and the antirequisite to ALL of those is Life Sci 2C03. But if I were you, I'd look up the course outlines and compare them
