Braver

Prof. Braver is a nice guy who really loves neuroscience, but lectures were very dense. Presentations seem like they're taken straight from an advanced neuroscience class and are far more detailed than is appropriate for a FYP.nnQuizzes are no longer based on the minutiae of these slides, but that doesn't make the lectures any more comprehensible.

Braver could be a great man outside of this class but his lectures made my brain melt (in a bad way). Extremely unclear and easily got off topic in obscure ways. The tests were so detailed on the most unimportant things. I didn't learn anything and he doesn't facilitate learning, the only way to pass is to memorize everything. very disappointing.

He single handedly gave me imposter syndrome. He speaks 100,000 miles an hour and his tests are impossible. Numerous times I was tested on things I had less than 4 words about in my notes. He says offhand comments and then makes them worth 8 points on the tests. Ridiculous professor. I want to report him to the psych department.

I was not surprised when Braver announced that this was his first time teaching MBB. He is never able to finish lectures, yet the entire test covers the 37 slides he speeds through in the last 10 minutes of class. He's a decent guy and has great experience, but doesn't know how to teach. The class itself was underwhelming as well.

He has a Tesla Model 3. He speeds through the material. Half of the slides are discussed in the last 10 minutes. None of the slides relate with one another. ��
