Dr. Fotuhi is one of the best professors I have had at GW. He is very caring, funny, and knowledgeable. He is a very good lecturer and his lectures are very interesting and organized. Class is based on a couple of quizzes and a cumulative final exam. You learn a lot from this class without it being stressful. Would highly recommend this class!

Dr. Fotuhi's class was surprisingly fun! I'm not a STEM heavy psych student but the way he introduces the course content made learning about neuropsych fun and personal. There are only a few quizzes and a final exam to make up the total grade. He offers lots of extra credit opportunities. He is clearly really passionate about the material!

Fotuhi is a egotistical individual, often talking about himself, but he does care A LOT about his students and is VERY passionate about the content. There are a bunch of quizzes but the students make the questions for them, so they are easy and there are also many extra credit assignments which he is lenient with which is great

My first impression was that he was rather self-centered and tended to generalize the information to a gross amount. As the semester went on, I warmed up to him and could tell he cares for his students and is passionate about his teaching. Overall, I think you have to get used to him and his style of teaching and then you'll like his class.

In my first impression of Professor Fotuhi, I could see why someone would see him as too confident. However, I think that the confidence is warranted by his years of experience as a neuropsychologist, and he cares about his students a lot. In addition, I do appreciate the option of being able to do extra credit courses.

What an amazing professor! I was scared to take this course since neuropsychology was the worst for me when it came to psych topics, but Prof. Fotuhi makes lectures so fun, and you can tell he actually cares for his students. He loves telling stories and actually pushes you to memorize concepts that you thought you couldn't. Love this guy

Extremely engaging in lectures and clearly cares about his students. Makes the information very accessible for those who don't have a background in neuroscience, so a great course for psychology students (like myself). Some topics can get a little boring, but for me that's because I'm more interested in social psychology than biological psychology.

Great professor - he makes lectures genuinely interesting with his humor and anecdotes. Definitely study the slides for the quizzes, they aren't hard if you study but you will fail if you don't. Extra credit opportunities are great and can really boost your grade. Only annoying aspect is student surveys, but they aren't hard just time consuming.
