Comment:
Brilliant, funny, cynical. Critical towards news, research, what she teaches and how she teaches : open-minded and energetic, she gives a demanding but excessively rewarding class. Naysayers will mistake her recent or unconventional data for factual mistakes : please be smarter than that.

Comment:
Pr.Lupien is very dynamic and clear in her explanations of the materials.She has her own ways to explain certain concepts that you may find very helpful.Her playfulness is nice but maybe towards the end a little over the top. Other than that, she is very approachable and overall it is a pleasure to go to class.Watch out for the group project though

Comment:
I had a BIG problem with Prof Lupien. She said things that were incorrect in many of the lectures. She ACTUALLY said that neurotransmitters travel in vesicles after they are released! If you took any physio course you will be angered by her mistakes, otherwise you won't know the difference. Easy A either way, no need to think...

It's really too bad she doesn't teach more classes. Absolutely wonderful teacher. Her explanations are clear, fun, and up to date. She has a true passion for teaching as well as for the material she teaches.

it really does seem like the best class in Mcgill! If it doesn't seem like this in the beginning, it will definetly seem like it in the end of the course and even after the course. You will be sitting in your other courses and wishing for DR Lupien to be your teacher: yes she is that good! Bonus: TA

Don't know if this matters but Lupien is freaking gorgeous. She gets my testosterone going so much, it shuts down my HPG axis. If I were a woman, I'd have an LH/FSH surge all over her. She's like Celine Dion but: a) HOT b) not old c) SMART and d) FINE

I didn't realize how much I took away from this course until after I took it. Lupien stresses critical thinking from all aspects...and that has not only helped me in my psyc and science courses, but it's helping in all aspects of my life. GREAT course!!

Very interesting teacher. Knows how to grab student's attention and hold it for the duration of the class. Hard exams, but worth studying for. Celine Dion should be proud to have a resemblane to such a cool prof;)
