Comment:

Really interesting class and a super interesting, experienced prof. My only complaint is that his lectures were very heavy with content, and this was also reflected in his exams. I'm used to memorizing a lot but his exams were definitely very tricky and intentionally tested on small, irrelevant tidbits that he never touched on in class.

Comment:

It was a great class overall. Teskey is hilarious and he tells lots of stories making the class interesting. Exams are fair and mostly come out of the slides - he also gives hints in lectures. However, a handful of questions do come out of the textbook. He is also willing to discuss any NEUR topics even if it's random. I definitely recommend!!

Awesome guy. If I get the opportunity to be taught by him again I totally would. He seems to actually care and is always willing to answer questions. The class was pretty cool and actually not that hard. Just study and you'll get those A's :)

Comment:

Teskey is THE man! It takes an extremely dedicated human being to help students get a grasp on such intimidating material. Rather than freak you out about the difficulty level, he reassures you. He treats everyone like his equal, and would see that hell froze over before his lectures became boring.

Kicked ASS! Very funny, knowledgeable, interesting stories, respectful of students (cheerfully answers dumb-ass questions on earwax when we're supposed to be learning about audition and perception). Nominated for a teaching excellence award! PS - Sorry sweetheart, you're too old for tight jeans.

Comment:

one of the greatest professors ever. funny as hell. i just wish this hadn't been my first class of the day, so i would've attended more lectures. one word of caution: he does not put his lecture notes online, so you either have to attend all the classes (recommended) or read the textbook.

Just the best prof I have ever had. Very confident, yet compassionate. Extremely organized, but able to adapt to the room. Funny as HE-double hockey sticks!!!

Class itself was very difficult but Dr teskey is the best prof ever. He made the second semester of this class enjoyable and ever so interesting. Lectures are great, he is witty and loves to rant about anything! Highly recommend!
