Comment:

Hands down top 3 BNS and psych professor I have had in my lengthy 5.5 years at northeastern. The way she taught psychopharmacology made so much sense and actually changed my aspiring career choice. She is extremely concept driven,so no regurgitation and cramming of terms the day before. All classes are discussion encouraged. Laughs and learning

Comment:

Classes aren't mandatory and she posts the slides on blackboard. A lot of extra points and easy extra credit opportunities. We didn't have homework so our grade was based off how well we did on the tests and extra credit. Just go over the slides for the tests and you'll be fine.

I loved her! She's quirky and a little strange but a good professor. Easy exams, and lots of ways to get extra credit. Take her class!!

Comment:

She is very confusing and changes the syllabus/class/powerpoints frequently. Impossible to predict exam material. Do not take if you want an easy class (or in conjunction with other difficult classes like Organic Chem and Capstone). Basically she's a nice person but super unorganized.

overall a good professor. very rarely ever gets back to students by email but will be more helpful if you just go to her office hours. test are challenging a bit but if you go to class or even just study her powerpoints you should be fine

Comment:

Literally worst professor there is. Don't take her whatever you do. Request Leslie Ricci if she is offering the class, discuss this with the chair of BNS. She changed the syllabus halfway through, and rarely uses the expensive text book. For real, wait for a good teacher for any class Jackson is teaching.

Comment:

clinical neuroscience. horrific experience. she is hysterical to watch until you realize that your grade will be based on the incoherent mumbling that comes from her mouth (which is always hidden behind her hand). T/F ques are the hardest. I only did as well as I did because during the final people were telling answers across the room. AVOID HER!!!

Comment:

NOT RECOMMENDED! she sits in front of the class and randomly cites information from the book, and new information, which will put you to sleep (since she is silent for minutes). She writes on the board every once in a while, and even then it is not organized. Her exams are wayyy too specific, so you're going to have to study every sentence of text.

Comment:

Psychopharmacology. Denise will likely put you to sleep at least once. She likes to read from the text, but if you ask her a question she's always very helpful. She's a little out-there, especially with her metaphors! Read the book closely and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Psychopharmacology. Its a difficult class but it is not hard if you attend class and read the chapters and follow along. She has a ton of experience and knowledge of the subjects discussed. Answers al questions. Tells you what to study and what you should know for exams and for future classes regarding material. I thought it was a great class.

Comment:

The material wasn't too hard but her lectures were all over the place. No PowerPoint slides, she spoke from a podium and would only write on the board sometimes. Textbook pretty much useless for test prep-go to class, listen and take notes. Unorganized but funny, she was late to class a bunch of times, sometimes everyone just left.

Comment:

have to attend EVERY lecture because she gives so much extra material aside from the book chapters. Likes to tell us the "truth" alot about how things work which means very convaluted explanations that confuse everyone. But I guess if this is the major you chose then you should be used to hard work by now...Extremmmmly hard true/false Qs on tests.

Comment:

probably the worst class i've ever taken. i got like a C or B- at best, and that's only because we had one take home test while she was on jury duty. she makes her tests way too specific, like narrowed down to 1 sentence in 2 chapters. just ridiculous. i would not take this class if i were you

The class is a waste of time, since you never get to the actual learning part. She's a nice person, but a bad professor.
