Evan Hart NEUR200 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/09/2025	Evan Hart is by far the best professor I've had, he truly teaches instead of just reading off the slides, however, the slides are very helpful if you miss a class (lectures aren't recorded). There is no busy work (only 2 assignments - those are decent) and the exams are fairly straightforward in terms of wording. Lectures are filled with material so it is highly important to go to them, and it is both a lot of memorization and application for the exams.
Evan Hart Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/16/2024	he's an ok guy but the slides are messy and some of the exam questions are worded in such a confusing way. i could've gotten a better grade if it wasn't for that. i liked the TA she explained things really well. things would definitely have been better if there were more assignments and the exams (3 midterms + 1 final) weren't 74% of the grade
Evan Hart NEUR200 Expecting a B- Anonymous 12/09/2024	While it is true that Dr. Hart is passionate about teaching and does not read off of the slides, it's unfortunate that he does not record his lectures so you're not able to capture everything he's saying as this class is extremely memorization-heavy. He also gives too little assignments which is not the best when you do not do as good on the exams.
Evan Hart NEUR200 Expecting a B- Anonymous 12/09/2024	It's true that Dr. Hart is passionate about teaching and that he explains more than what is off the slides, but the downside is that he does not record lectures and gives too little assignments which does not give you that much opportunity to improve your grades if you do not do as well on the exams.
Evan Hart NEUR200 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/03/2024	Dr. Hart is the best professor I have had at UMD. I cannot recommend his class enough if you are taking NEUR200. Dr. Hart is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about neuroscience, and it shows. He teaches through slide shows, like most professors, but he does not simply read off of them, he actually teaches you. He also has recaps at the beginning of each class to briefly review the material covered in the previous lesson. He is extremely helpful and truly makes sure that his students understand the material. He presents information that connects to real life, making it easier to understand and digest. His exams are online and are extremely fair. He gets excited to teach, which gets his students excited to learn. He engages his students well and keeps everyone's attention. The class does move quickly at times, but only because there is a lot of material to cover. There were two homework assignments that you had multiple attempts to complete, and they really did enhance my understanding of the material. There is no busy work or filler lectures. Attending lectures is crucial to doing well, along with studying. This class relies heavily on memorization, so learning all the necessary info may take a good amount of time. Dr. Hart is also a genuine, nice guy who, you can tell truly cares about his students and their success. His material is very interesting and it got me excited to go to class.
Evan Hart NEUR200 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/07/2024	He is the nicest professor I've taken at UMD! He applies concepts of neuroscience to real life scenarios, making them easier to visualize and his lectures are very easy to follow. The way he teaches truly makes you want to learn more and is absolutely interesting. His exam material is fair and does not try to trick you at all. I love that he is very approachable with questions and is always interested in what you have to say, making the classroom environment much more engaging and warm. I would love to take a class taught by him again. Attend the lectures and you should have no problem getting a good grade in this class!
Evan Hart NEUR200 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/01/2024	He is a great professor; I would recommend taking his class. I like his class compared to the other NEUR 200 professors because he only has two assignments: just reading research and asking questions, no groupwork or presentations. Also, his exams are online in the classroom, and you imminently get a grade, which I like.
