PSYCH M116A

Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory

4 units

Sections & times

Lecture and lab. The registrar has published a final exam time.

Fall 2026: 6 lectures and 6 discussions. Nothing here is open. The oldest of these readings was 17 minutes ago.

Also listed as NEUROSC M116A (closed, 5 of 5 enrolled, limited): the same class, and each department holds its own seats and its own grade history.

Grades

3.09

Average grade awarded in PSYCH M116A. Not a student rating: this is what the grades were.

43%

of the 1,057 letter grades

D, F or W

8.2%

The registrar's own records: 1,057 grades over 12 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

What is inside that record

3 of those terms are summer sessions, and summer sessions are counted here.

The table below splits them, and term averages across those 12 terms ran 2.57 to 3.36.

Historical grades for TROTT, JEREMY MICHAEL, across recorded terms. The course summary above includes all professors.

  • A+ 7 · 13.0%
  • A 16 · 29.6%
  • A- 3 · 5.6%
  • B+ 7 · 13.0%
  • B 3 · 5.6%
  • B- 3 · 5.6%
  • C+ 5 · 9.3%
  • C 4 · 7.4%
  • D+ 2 · 3.7%
  • D 1 · 1.9%
  • F 3 · 5.6%
  • I 1 of 55

Percentages are of the 54 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: incompletes (I).

How the non-letter outcomes are counted

They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

Why Predicted is not the Raw average

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department, so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.

Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.

Reviews for PSYCH M116A

Workload and assignments

Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.

dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 6 courses long before PSYCH M116A. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CHEM 20B, LIFESCI 30B, and MATH 3B, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.

In Falls

Ran in 3 of the last 3 Falls.

From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.

From the registrar's catalog

(Formerly numbered 116.) (Same as Neuroscience M116A.) Lecture, one hour; laboratory, three hours. Requisites: courses 10, 100A, 100B, and 115, or Neuroscience M101A and M101B (M101B may be taken concurrently). Not open for credit to students with credit for course 116B. Designed for Psychobiology, Psychology, and Neuroscience majors. Laboratory experience with various topics in behavioral neuroscience. Hands-on experience with important methodology and experimental approaches in neuroscience. P/NP or letter grading.

Sections in Fall 2026

You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.

Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 12 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: between 17 and 19 a term over 9 terms, summer excluded, most recently 17 in Fall 2025. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it. This course runs 6 lectures; the legend under the chart picks one.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.

What a flat run means, and where a line starts

Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

How readings and alerts work

A reading and an hourly record are different things, and most charts here hold more of the second missing than present. dibs has taken readings of a section since long before it began keeping an hour-by-hour log of when it looked, so the empty stretches are dibs saying it was not keeping that log yet, not that it looked and found nothing. That is the age of the record and not a fault.

Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.

The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
