05/18/2020 This review was submitted while most classes were online during the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not be indicative of a regular semester.		She is absolutely terrible. Never coherent, rambles incessantly on material that isn't relevant for the tests, and is never prepared for lectures. She doesn't respond to emails and makes it clear she doesn't care about you. She also writes pretty awful test questions that she thinks are coherent and straightforward, but are absolutely awful. The class is very very unclear.

12/14/2009 This review was automatically imported from OurUMD. It was not manually verified and may not follow our review standards.		Dr. Carr taught the first 2/3 of neurophys and Dr. Quinlan taught the last 1/3. Dr. Carr covered an entire chapter from the Neurophys textbook each lecture, which made it very hard to keep up with the pace. I would definitely recommend trying to keep up with the reading, because I found her lectures difficult to follow when I didn't read in advance. I mostly relied on the book to learn what I needed to know for exams because she follows it fairly closely. Dr. Carr did post practice exams, which made it somewhat easier to study. The final also wasn't cumulative, which was a huge help.
