My group sucked but the professor was super understanding. Meeting with her was more useful than class time when everyone else was asking annoying questions and not letting her get to the point. I actually learned how to analyze data, which was useful vs my stats classes when I just did whatever the prof said. Writing is annoying but its an SWS.

This class was HARD and covered a lot of material. Prof Flandreau did a great job of explaining complicated neuroscience stuff but if you don't read the book and the online book before class you will get lost. We got to use a note card for the exams, which saved me! Online quizzes and discussions were a pain but also boosted my grade.

There are only 2 tests and they were really easy. The challenge is the group project. Prof gave out packets of info for how to write the paper and also the grading check list and the APA manual. It's a lot of information but if you follow the instructions then you'll get a good grade. It's an SWS class so there is A LOT of writing.

If you go to class and pay attention to the review sessions, she literally tells you what's on the exam and basically goes through how to answer it. We just took the first test and I was really nervous because there's a lot of material and it's hard to understand, but I think I did really well because she helped to prepare us so well.

I've never had a professor who cares so much about students success and overall well-being. S he goes out of her way to make sure everyone is respectful during exams. She made an announcement about hate crimes on campus and posted post-election support on BB. I'm doing OK in the class but I really like going because of her.

She is a wonerful professor and provides great explanations of the material in class. This class is a ton of work with a TON of information convered but if you read and show up for her lectures you should not have a problem getting a good grade and learning the material.

Attendance isn't required, but the lecture slides do NOT have enough to get you to the exam. If you want to do well without going to class, you need to be married to your textbook. Either way, that book is great, because this class has SO MUCH INFO! Super interesting & Flandreau breaks it down really well. She is very knowledgeable in the content

I loved this class. I'm changing my career plans because of it. I wish I had taken it sooner. It's alot of material but I thought it all made sense and the professor is super clear about what's on the tests.

Foundations of Behavioral Neuroscience is no walk in the park if you have no previous AP or physiology classes. I felt super comfortable asking her questions and she does an excellent job explaining. Be prepared to put in work (reading & watching videos) outside of class if you want an A. Highly recommend her! One of the best profs i've had at GVSU

Although this is a very tough class, Professor Flandreau is amazing. There is A LOT of material and it will take a lot of studying to earn an A, but she provides you with all the resources needed to succeed. Her exams are pulled from the study guides she provides (but you do actually need to UNDERSTAND the material).

I got a practically perfect score on the first exam. She literally tells you exactly what's on the test. Class periods go ridiculously fast, but she has a ton of videos posted online. Once I started watching them BEFORE class, I understood everything a lot better. A lot of my friends complain that the material is too hard, but I love it.

OK so when I first took this class I HATED it. But now I'm in 400 and I'm doing alot better than people who had other profs for 300. Last year I would have told you to avoid this prof like the plague, but actually now I'm glad I had a more difficult 300 because it makes this class so much easier. Especially for SPSS.

Although there is a lot of hate going around regarding Dr. Flandreau, I honestly loved her. She is a tough teacher, is very sarcastic and has an abrasive sense of humor to some, but she really does care that you learn. However, at no point will you be spoon-fed information so be prepared to learn. Help outside the class can be very helpful.

I LOVED Flandreau! she is one of those professors who truly cares for the wellbeing of her students and is open to suggestions on how to improve the class/adjust grading criteria. PSY330 is hard and requires a LOT of work outside of class, but it is very doable. I really like her "flipped" class style! She gives you lots of additional resources.

Although PSY330 is hard material, she does everything in her power to make it accessible for students. She REALLY cares. At first, I didn't like the way she taught because I wasn't used to her style. Now, it is my preferred way of learning. Definitely do ALL the readings and watch the videos. She also takes students' suggestions into consideration.

Flandreau rocks. THis semester was a disaster for most of my profs with going off campus for covid virus. Flandreau had everything organized pretty much right away and cut out a chapter to make it easier. The group project was hard to do online but the final exam was totally open note and we had like the full week to do it.

I'm not sure why so many people think this class is too hard. If you actually pay attention the exams are really easy. I got almost 100 on all of them. I also really liked Dr. Flandreau. She's kind of quirky but so am I.

Flandreau really cares about her students' success. You can see it in the way she teaches just how passionate and knowledgeable she is about her subject matter. She won't hand you an Abe ready to work fairly hard for a good grade in this classbut it's totally worth it. Follow the reading guides, complete practice questions, and you'll be fine!

The frist part of the course felt like biology and we had to sit in groups. The end was mental disorders. I have anxiety and I never knew brain regions are invovled. Plus she gave a whole lecture on stigma. I found it really inspirational. Honestly, in January I didn't like her but now Iv'e got mad respect.

If you don't like a flipped class avoid this one. There's a group project but I loved my group and they helped study for exams too. Not sure if it counts as "online" this semester but compared to my other profs Flandreau was a lot better transitioning to online. Plus I actually learned a lot when other classes seemed like profs were not invested

She cares about you learning the content in this class. She does her best each class to have everyone participate and she's always enthusiastic about what she is teaching about. She's one of the best professors I've had, I had to drop her class one semester b/c I ended up in the hospital, she mailed me a get well letter signed by her and the class.

I took this as a 6 week online class. We had weekly videos and quizzes and a group project, which I usually hate but this group worked out. Flandreau is a great teacher both in videos and in meetigns together. Plus we had a guest teacher one day, which was cool. It's intense, though, so don't take other classes if you take it in spring

Dr. F definitely cares about her students. She had a detailed schedule and clear expectations but was flexible when we needed it. Online isn't my favorite but she managed to make it feel like an actual class. I'll be honest I didn't work so hard but it was easy to get a decent grade.

This class is difficult and you are given many resources which made it feel overwhelming. However her teaching style forces you to learn the material to pass instead of memorizing and forgetting it right after the exams. I'm taking PSY 435 now with another professor and not struggling such as other student who have not taken Flandreau for PSY 330.

Just took my first exam. It was not difficult if you studied even a little bit and took good notes. Her lectures are all recorded online and class meetings are review sessions. Half the class cheated by plagiarizing and she's giving them another chance and they're still raging at her.

Exam 1 was basically exactly what was on the study guide. Watch the lecture videos and do the practice questions. It might be harder if you didn't have her for 330 because there's a lot of overlap.

I just came here to leave a good review and see all these complaints. This is a neuroscience class so of course its hard but Dr. F made it enjoyable and interesting. Plus we got options and extensions. One of the only professors I actually go tto know this term with everything online.

Her lecture videos are fantastic! She does drawings and really goes through all the material. I actually like it better than in person to watch them over again. Zoom meetings were annoying because so many people didn't participate so lots of awkward pauses. Its a hard class but there's a ton of extracredit so its easy to get a good grade

This was the most organized online class i had. Lecture videos were good quality. Zoom meetings were activities. Weekly review sessions for extra help. Plus Dr. F understands what we go througth. She has depression and is honest about it, which made me respect her a lot more.

This class was hard but Dr. F gave so many chances for more points with extra credit, quiz re-takes, re-submitting homework, open-note exams. I didn't do great on the final but with all the extras i still got an A.

I respect Prof. Flandreau. There was a grading debacle on one of the tests which was stressful, but she is fair and willing to work with students. Do the extra credit and get max points on the reading quizzes, it will save your grade. Be prepared for bio/physiology heavy content. Requires some studying, but prioritize this class and you'll be okay.

This class was definitely an adjustment. She teaches with a flipped classroom style which I was not used to. However, if you watch all of the videos, lectures, and do all of the homework assigned, you will still learn. I think this prof is a sweet person. She values students health and well being, which I always appreciate.

I was worried about our first exam but it ended up being exactlywhat she said and I got 100%. There were two questions on it where it would've been impossible to get wrong. She wants you to learn but also helps you get a good grade.

Professor Flandreau makes you play by her rules, but if you can do that, you can get a lot out of this class. Exam expectations are not always the clearest, but written responses allow room to earn points by demonstrating knowledge in multiple ways. Willing to listen to student feedback, and cares about student learning. Took her for 330 as well

we could choose to be in groups or not. We got to do assignments together and then our tests didn't count for as much in the grade so I didn't have to stress about the final.

This was different from any class I've had. We had 3 guest speakers. The lowest assignments and tests are dropped so you can get a good grade even if you don't do well on something. The test questions are weird but they're open note. And there's no textbook so I saved money. Flandreau actually cares if you are okay and not just about grades.

It was a really easy class to do online. Her lecture videos are really good and test questions were from the videos. We didn't have to buy a textbook but it was sometimes hard to find the reading online. I was in a group that took quizzes together multiple times to get the highest grade. I didn't do great on exams but still got a A

I graduated this semester and I think I learned more in this one class than the whole rest of the year. The instructor actually cares that students do their best. The textbook is FREE and we got to choose the topics that we studied. The first part of the class was review so it was easy to get a good grade if you try at all

HNR 251 didnt have an option I want to learn so much more about the brain. We worked on a project all semester with teams and had homework but no exams. We didn't have to memorize anything. Class time was mostly working together so we didn't have to spend as much time outside of class. Flandreau was incredibly helpful and caring.

The lecture videos were the same as 330 so if you have her for both it's really easy. If you're not used to essay tests it might be harder but we got a cheat sheet and she gives lots of partial credit. You can choose your topic for a project so that part isn't boring and it's what I want to go in to and she can be a reference

I loved this class so much. THere were no tests just homework and it was up to us what we wanted to learn. Flandreau was awesome at helping us and answering our questions. The only thing that bothered me was the gradebook on blackboard. I couldn't tell what my grade was and that was frustrating

The online lectures were really good and the textbook was free. Everything was organized better than o0ther online classes i took. You could re do the homework at the end. There was a lot of information but its a six week term so thats exp;ected.

There were so many opportunities to get points like extra credit and choices for homework assignments plus options for what to answer on the test. There was a textbook but it was online and free. If you missed class she had a ton of videos online. And there was a buffer for deadlines so I didn't have to stress if I forgot to turn something in.

I'm majoring in neuroscience so I knew this class would be difficult and interesting but it was actually fun to go to class. There were so many examples and fun facts about the brain that will stick with me. I wanted to sign up for advanced neuroscience with her but she's not teaching it next year!

There's so much materialbut flandreau actually makes it interesting she really wants you to succeed. The final exam was basically exactly what we did on the review session day. Plus we got a cheat sheet and there was extra credit. And she replaced my low test 1 score since my final was higher than my mid term grades.

Grades were basically two tests and a project but there were a lot of opportunities to learn and succeed. We got to decide what project to do and the topic so even though it was a lot of work it wasn't bad. The grading was super lenient too and the last test was basically open note

When she suggests creating a one-page study guide for every module- DO IT we got to use it on the test.

The test is basically identical to her review session and practice questions she provides. This class can be a lot of work but if you stay on top of it she is there to support you.

This class started going way too fast but she actually slowed way down after surveys from us. She's kind of strange and has weird examples (movie clips, memes, taste test) but they were funny and keep me awake. There's a project and I chose to work alone. Most profs dont give that option but im so sick of groups. Tests are basically open note.

If you don't want to learn anything about neuroscience, feel free to take a different class. Neuroscience is a lot of work but flandreau will help you succeed if your willing to put in the time. She also made changes based on what we asked for (cheat sheets on exam, extra credit). I learned more than any other class at gv or grcc

There's only two tests and it feels like so much to learn but the tests are basically open note and for the final she's telling us basically exactly what is on it. She really wants you to learn and do well not just cram to memorize stuff. She's also really awkward but funny and it keeps class entertaining

so much extra credit and redo homeworks and notes on the final so if you dont get a good grade its on you. none of my other psych classes actually explain anything its just memorizing. Dr. F actually teaches about how depression is caused by your brain and why treatments dont work. Its a lot of work but if you follow her advice you'll be fine

Professor Flandreau was one of the nicest professors I've had at GVSU. Her class was easy if you put in the work. Offers lots of extra credit and retakes, lets us use cheat sheets on exams, and overall an interesting course for Psych and neuroscience majors!

Dr. F cares a lot about the success of her students and is very easy to talk to! The class definitely wasn't easy, and she was a tough grader. Her feedback on assignments was incredibly helpful, though. I feel like she is a great professor if you want a detailed understanding on material.

This class was awesome. We learned how brain regions works together and weird things that happen when your brain doesn't work. Flandreau is a huge nerd in the best way and going to class was actually fun. We worked in groups a lot but you weren't graded on group things. Most grades were completion to make sure you stay on top of the work.

Class is mandatory on review days, but would recommend attending every one- it helps with test material. HW feels busy/ unrelated to test questions, but it will help. Wish HW matched test quests a bit more Professor is very kind, caring, and willing to help; just talk directly! Difficult course, but disciplines you and is worth the extra effort.

If you're a behavioral neuroscience major you need to take this class with Flandreau. She actually make sure you learn the material, not just temporarily memorize things. I'm actually looking forward to advanced neuroscience now.

There are a ton of practice quizzes but you get full credit just for doing them. Homework isn't really homework either it's making a study guide to help you learn. The only graded things are tests and she gives a lot of partial credit. Plus if you go to class she says what's on the test.
