Take this your senior year! Preferably, your last semester but that's all on your workload. I have no problems doing presentations so it was a breeze for me but some people in my cohort had intense anxiety on taking a presentation format class.

You're researching a single neuroscience topic for the whole semester and practicing giving presentations for your big finale at the end of the semester.

Northcutt is very **** about deadlines but she's very clear about her intense schedule being the driving force for that. Don't ask for extensions. She hates it and would say no every time we asked. She cares about us in her own way though and made treats for us at the end of the year.

Keep to your deadlines. This is the perfect class to practice being a good student who works ahead. The quicker you finish the work, the easier it is.
