No doubt one of the most engaging professors I've ever had throughout my undergraduate tenure. His module of Psych 116 (Behavioral Neuroscience Lab) was based on his current research about place cells in the hippocampus, and it was truly fascinating material (to me, at least). It's one thing for a professor teach a course that's based on other peoples' findings, but it's another thing altogether to learn from the person who's actually DOING the ground-breaking scientific discoveries. He's a busy man with all the research he's got going on, but he still managed to schedule two 2-hour lecture-based review sessions before the final, which I think only few other professors have done before (in my experience). Feel free to ask him ANY question about the material, (even if you think it's a stupid question and it's something he's repeated 10,000 times before). He will never show signs of annoyance or make you feel stupid, but instead explain everything in detail. He's REALLY interested in student learning, which makes him real neat professor. A word of warning for the ladies, though: I found his disarmingly good looks and boyish-charm quite a distraction. Still, it's worth it. TAKE HIS CLASSES!!

Spring 2016 - I was very nervous to take this lab but I'm so glad that I did! If you are looking to take a lab definitely take it with Dr. Izquierdo. The assignments were graded very leniently (unlike 100B), were easy to complete, and were actually fun. I passed the class with an A while putting in minimal effort, would've gotten an A+ if I actually put more effort in.
