Prof. Sultana is one of the really amazing instructors I have had so far a UTD. Her lectures are really easy to understand. Most of the material in the exam is from her lectures. She takes attendance every day. She also gives you online homework that will also be on the exams. They first seem hard but they are easy and always from your textbook.

Rukhsana, as I and my friends affectionately call her, is a seasoned researcher-turned professor who wants to inspire new researchers to succeed. She is a fantastic professor both in and out of class: positive, knowledgeable, humble, caring, and willing to go above and beyond for her students. If you care about Neuro, you'll love class with her

Dr. Sultana is a wonderful professor that makes neuroscience so easy and fun! She is great at scaffolding - reviewing concepts from previous courses and using them to introduce new ones. She will make sure you have learned the things she wants you to learn from her course. She is also a great speaker and inspired me to study hard for my career.

Rukhsana is a great lecturer. She is very humorous and witty. She will go above and beyond for her students to succeed. Class is not hard if you do the homework and read the material. Great mentor and instructor.

Sweet professor. Will make time for you outside of class. Powerpoints are directly taken from the book. Exams have 5-10 questions that are bonus/extra credit, and are multiple choice. There's pop quizzes before each exam, about 15 questions long. Those questions will be on the exam. Show up for the quizzes for those free points!

TAKE HER!!!!! She is amazing. My first neuroscience class ever, and I have received 100's on both exams so far. I study my butt off, but it's all pretty easy if you show up, ask questions, and study her powerpoints! She is the sweetest and really takes time in the class to make sure you understand everything before moving on!

Shes very nice and really passionate about Neuroscience. She also makes sure you understand the concepts before she moves on. I only read the book when I needed to understand some concepts that really confused me. 4 exams and 4 quizzes, final replaces lowest exam grade and she drops lowest quiz. Make sure go to class because its a free 100.

Definitely was one of the harder classes that I've taken but Professor Sultana does an amazing job to prepare you for future classes. If you're a pre-med student, I'd recommend attending her classes. While I found the class difficult, it also helped to show me to not just memorize material and to really apply it.

I am from Engineering background & System Neuroscience felt like a parallel universe. But, I am extremely thankful to Dr. Sultana to give personal attention to me, understand my learning strength & style, & present the course in a way I can understand. I failed 1st out of 3 tests, but she helped me to excel other 2 tests & I got an A+ in the course

Very easily reachable during office hours and very patient while listening to your doubts, no matter how silly they may sound. Understands your gaps in understanding and provides step by step guidelines. She see's to it that you pass the course with an A / A+ and gives good opportunities to earn extra credits. Definitely recommend.

I have psychology background & I took this course to understand how body coordinates with brain. I liked how professor will do an action like hand movement, eye movement etc in class and will show how the signals traveled between organ and brain, this helps to remember. Her pop quizzes are good to learn & she gives opportunities for extra credits

Loved her real life examples to explain systems neuroscience. Group projects helped to learn better, would have loved to see more of these. Extra credit questions in the exams are life saver :).

Just finished my class with her today and we got our final grades back within 2 hours of taking the exam. I think everyone in this class got an A, it can be a bit daunting because the first two exams (esp the 2nd) is tricky but she evens it out with a presentation (easy 100) and participation (easy 100 as well). She genuinely cares abt students too

Great professor! Neurophys is a tough class but she is so kind and understanding and she actually made the material really interesting! Attendance is a grade so you may as well go, textbook its super confusing just use her slides, every test is cumulative so make sure you review everything before each exam because she asks previous material

Class was super fun and TAs were very helpful. Her lectures are very helpful and she has some questions embedded in between that are helpful for the quizzes and exams. Quizzes are a good indicator of the exam

Dr. Sultana is so sweet. Her lectures are straight forward so if you go to lectures you'll ace the exams. There's a bunch of extra credit on exams, which should help you out. She's especially helpful if you go to her office hours before exams as she helps you understand the concepts you need to know. Honestly an amazing professor.

I love Dr. Rukhsana - she is extremely genuine and truly cares about students learning. It's a lot of work and you have to be on top of it weekly. Her practicums and exams have extra credit, which is very nice and a good cushion. Takes attendance in class as part of your grade. Her ppts can be a little disorganized so you may need the book to help.

I loved this professor and this class. I am happy i took her on my first semester of college at UTD because she basically set the example for what i want to see in my other professors. Though a little disorganized mid-semester with the lecture schedule, it did not adversely impact me in any way. Examseasy if you learn slides. She's accessible.

Down to earth professor who really cares about her students. There's often a line for office hours but she will make sure to see you. Exams were based off the lecture material but reading the book helped a lot. Grades were always posted within 24 hours. She definitely makes you work for your grade but it's worth it because you really learn from her

I took 2 classes with Dr. R at UTD, and she is by far one the best professors I've had. She truly cares that students learn and apply the concepts. I also had to endure the online transition during the Spring, and boy, it was hard for me. But Dr. R made all kinds of videos and TA reviews for us to study so I survived. Study and you'll do great!

I absolutely loved Dr. Sultana. She was super nice and engaging during her lectures and was incredibly understanding if you had issues with homework. It's been 3 years since I took her class, but if she ever sees me she recognizes me and asks me how my classes are going, just super nice. She's definitely a professor I recommend.

Talks VERY fast, it can be hard to keep up. Bc of online school, she does 'pre-recorded lectures' on top of regular lectures, and they take a long time to go over (sometimes over 1 hr of info for half a ppt). But for testing, she is very considerate and it is technically all open-note. Will make sure you have a proper understanding of the subject.

Dr. Rukhsana has been my favorite professor at UTD. Took her Neurophysiology and Func. NA classes and both were difficult but extremely valuable. She expects students to apply lecture material to clinical settings in exams. If you go to office hours, she is more than happy to help and encourage you. Wish I could say more, highly recommend her.

She was very considerate this semester which is very rare for UTD professors. I enjoyed learning in her class at my own pace. Solid professor.

Professor Sultana is one of the sweetest professors I've had and I really enjoyed her class! She is accessible out of class and makes sure all her students are able to address any concerns in and out of class. She made all the material enjoyable and is a fair grader, as long as you put in the required effort.

Dr. Sultana really cares about her students. She has a live session and pre-recorded lectures, which makes learning easier. She also provides plenty of example questions to practice for the tests. The tests, not bad at all, are usually based entirely on material from the lectures. Clear grading criteria and a fun end of semester assignment as well.

Very caring professor, learned a lot. Not an easy A though.

I took intro to neuroscience with Dr. Sultana. She is a very caring professor and is willing to work with you if she sees that you're putting in the effort. Now be aware that this is not an easy A class. You really have to be on top of the material if you want to do good in her class. Tests are heavily weighted, but they are doable if you study.

Dr. Sultana is amazing, and I have taken her for several upper level courses (undergrad & masters). If you put in the work and show up to class like youre supposed to, you will do extremely well. She goes very in depth with her explanations, and is always willing to help you if you need it. Seriously, Dont listen to the negative reviews.

Professor Sultana is the best Professor for this class and I wish she would teach other classes as well because her methods make learning easy. You should ideally attend lectures to learn some of the things that arent on the PowerPoint but everything is recorded so you can watch it later on. Neurophys gave me a lot of knowledge on the CNS

Dr. Sultana has a lot of experience in research and it shows that her passion in teaching is to inspire others to continue the journey and sacrifice of scientific research. She makes neuroscience tangible by talking about diseases and how this concept relates to that disease. Very nice and accesible. Willing to help all the time.

Very engaging and fun.

Dr. Rukhsana is a very caring professor. The reason why people left bad reviews for this class is cause they waited for the last minute to start the EOS assignment and then got frustrated when they flooded Dr. Rukhsana with questions. She is an easy grader and her lectures are so helpful. If you do your work, you will easily succeed.

She's the perfect professor to teach this intro to neuro class.

I've taken Dr. Sultana several times as an undergrad and now once as a graduate student. In my opinion, she's the most enthusiastic neuroscience professor at UTD and is invested in the long-term success of her students. You need to properly study and ask questions but she's a fair grader and will make time to talk about the quizzes/test.

Professor Sultana is a good lecturer and is caring towards her students. Her tests can be sometimes be a little confusing, but proper studying will net you a good grade. Pop quizzes! Be careful!

Shes a wonderful professor and really engages the students in the subject. The class itself is pretty straightforward and Id definitely take her for any neuro class that you can

She's great professor and truly cares about her students. This class was not an easy A. Her goal is to make sure you understand the material and not just regurgitate info on an exam. She gave extra credit questions and extra quizzes for points to go towards our exam grades. Just show up, pay attention, keep up with the material and you'll do great.

Amazing professor she genuinely wants her students to succeed. Gives extra credit opportunities. Make sure to watch her pre recorded lecture and attend class, in class examples are seen on tests. After every test MAKE SURE to review the tests with her since the unit tests questions are repeated on the final exam. memorize slides and prerecords!

Sultana is a tough professor in that she demands far too much from students who are taking an intro class. Don't take this class thinking the tests will ask to label brain parts, brain functions, lol nooooo. Topics get deeep and detailed. But you will learn so much more than any other professor you take. She hand draws things and uses colors too!

Dr. Sultana is THE professor you want for lab methods. Caring, clear in what she wants, and readily available via office hours. She guides you along the 2 main papers you'll be writing for the course, and makes sure she answers everyones questions. Exams were typically short answer, but she tells you exactly what to study for the exam. Take her!

There is a lot of material and everything is recorded. Memorize every detail on her slides and go to TA review sessions. There are limited spots to review exams, but you need to because the final exam repeats questions from previous exams. There are extra credit opportunity after every exam. Not the easiest to get in contact with.

Dr. Rukhsana has a great lecture style - thorough and not too fast. For a senior-level course, she's pretty generous in sharing what you'll be tested on. Often, students overthink the material need to narrow their focus to what she's already stated. That said, every detail of her lecture slides is fair game for the exams. Get ready to learn a lot!

Dr. Sultana is an AMAZING professor! She is both caring about educating students, passionate about neuroscience, and delivers lectures in an engaging manner! Course-wise: Neurolab methods is a super straightforward class, but also very interesting. The course can seem intimadating at first, but Dr. Sultana breaksdown everything! Learned a lot!

I took her back during COVID and hands-down one of the best professors ever. The content is a lot for each unit, but it is very reasonable if you put in the effort you would for an upper-division class. Her lectures explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner! I studied for this class by making infographics to remember the content :)

She's so sweet and her office hours are great but the exams are so hard. Even if you think you're ready, you're probably not because it's all the little details. She doesn't use the textbook but make sure to memorize the entire textbook for exams because her slides aren't very helpful. Also go to SI sessions!!

Don't listen to the bad review. She is a caring professor. Good teaching style if you are a visual learner. She often spends time drawing on scratch paper. 4 exams and quizzes (the question on the quiz are also on the exam (10-15)). Fully memorize her lecture slides and read the textbook once before the exam and you should do well in the class.

the professor is really sweet and genuinely wants to help her students learn and not fail. as long as you keep up with the material and prepare well for your quizzes the exams wont be hard. the lecture powerpoints are all you need to basically memorize to do well

Excellent choice - grading is straight forward and exams are easy if you study ahead and learn the slides - txtbook not required to ace them. Dr. Sultana herself is very knowledgeable, and gives warm advice during class which I actually admired. She is very accessible during office hours and remembers everything about you, genuine human, good heart

Dr. Sultana cares about her students without a doubt. She will take the time to answer student questions both in the classroom & in office hours. Majority of the material was completely new to me, but she made sure I understood every piece of every concept. Lectures were a little disorganized, and there is an incredible self study expectation.

Dr. Sultana cares deeply for her students and is extremely knowledgeable about neuroscience. She's fair in terms of grading. She will give extra homework assignments if she sees that the exam average is lower than expected. However, she designed the first exam to be difficult, and I had to go to office hours to understand her quizzes and exams.

She is the most caring, helpful, and respectable teachers I've had. Her tests and quizzes weigh heavy on the grading scale, but are very manageable. Simply listen in her classes, and study her slides and you will get an easy A. She is also very responsible, answering her emails with minutes to a day. She also provides an extra test. Just focus.

Dr. Sultana is the best professor I have had so far at UTD. She genuinely cares about her students learning and makes sure to slow down content if students are struggling. She is able to connect to and relate with her students on a deeper level, better than any other professor. She provides ample extra credit and is driven with passion.

Super clear understanding of what was on tests. Still interesting concept and very helpful TA's
