Spring 2010 classes!!
Unfortunately ballroom dance isn't offered! :'( Matt and I were really looking forward to it.
I am going to assume with my edited proposal that the IDST committee will accept my self-designed major. Otherwise, the following classes are going to go to waste and my college career plan (since officially I am still a biochemistry major) goes down the drain and the fifth semester attending Beloit is the last semester you can apply for IDST major.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
8:45-9:50am: Research Methods and Design (Psych)
10:00-11:05am: Philosophy of Science (Philo)
11:15-12:20pm: Memory and Cognition (Psych)
2:00-3:50pm: Data Structures and Algorithms (Comp Sci)
(Tuesday, Thursday
2:00-3:30pm-ish: Tutoring with my tutee from this semester - no longer needed for a course since I'm done with Lifespan Development, but I want to continue :D)
I cannot imagine the overlap of papers and presentations and quizzes/tests/exams next semester will present. This semester was bad enough, with 3 of my classes MWF and the 4th one alone on TTH. This is the only line-up of courses pertaining to Cog Sci that didn't conflict with one another.
I'm kind of bummed, too, because I wanted to nude model for $12/hr for one of the art classes. Unfortunately, that's W 1:30-3:50 and F 1:00-3:50. Ah, comp sci!
PSYC 200 01 Research Methods and Design(LW) 1.00 MWF 08:45AM-09:50AM
This course immerses students in the planning, conducting, interpreting, and communicating of research. Issues addressed include the philosophy of science, hypothesis testing, the use of various methodologies, and research ethics. (LW) Offered each semester. Prerequisite: Psychology 100 and 150.
PHIL 230 01 Philosophy of Science 1.00 MWF 10:00AM-11:05AM
Consideration of the nature and limits of scientific inquiry through a study of its fundamental concepts and methods. The course incorporates certain aspects of the history of science, with major attention to classical figures from the time of Galileo onward, and attempts to develop an understanding of the relation between the sciences and those nonscientific disciplines and activities that emphasize values. Offered occasionally. Prerequisite: Philosophy 100 or 110 or consent of instructor.
PSYC 240 01 Memory and Cognition 1.00 MWF 11:15AM-12:20PM
This course examines some of the mental processes involved in human behavior. General issues to be covered include the accuracy of memory, problem solving, decision making, and the rationality of thought processes. Specific topics such as selective attention, subliminal perception, neurological bases of memory, and effects of aging will be discussed. Offered occasionally. Prerequisite: Psychology 100.
CSCI 204 01 Data Structures& Algorithms 1.00 MWF 02:00PM-03:50PM
Practical coverage of data structures with opportunities for software problem-solving. Covers linked-lists, skip lists, general and balanced trees, hashing, and graphs, together with algorithms and standard tools for their implementation, plus algorithms for diverse sorting methods and complexity analysis of algorithms. Students learn how to use abstractions of data structures in designing software for applied problems, to implement the details of algorithms in writing programs, and to analyze the tradeoffs in choices of data structures and algorithms. Prerequisite: CSCI 131.
Matt, my boyfriend is also in Philosophy of Science. :-S :-S I love him, and I would love to be with him in a dance class, but in this particular class, I don't know if I'd either get too shy or too assertive. Probably the former. I have had two classes with him prior to our getting to know each other romantically and I thought he was a total know-it-all. :-P Or I might mentally think "Okay, you've elaborated on your point enough!! STOP!" He is a philosophy major and biology minor so he's a bit more well-read in philosophy than I am. He is also more articulate and eloquent.

In other words... yeah for boyfriend!

I'm not so sure about "yeah for boyfriend"! In the past I've dealt badly with having a boyfriend in the same class, or be a lab partner. FLAMES.

The prereq for my Methods class was stats too.

I've learned a lot from him, though, and I'm getting better at discussing my opinions :) I'm sure Matt will be incredibly helpful and the class will be more interesting for you since you get to be close to him during ;)

I'm worried that in the context of a classroom, in front of a professor and other students, particularly if this is a class that grades hard on participation, I'll get really self-conscious or worried if he or I will get that class reputation of "know-it-all" or "dimwit, why is she taking this course?" or something. I mean, I admit there's someone in my AI class a lot of people dislike because of his comments and attitudes and tone during questions and discussion.
*snorts* Matt made some remark last night about making sure I'm sitting next to him so he can rub my leg during class. I retorted that if he loved me and cared for my academic success, and cared for his own, he would be more detrimental to that goal than helpful. But I am curious, I admit. :D
no subject
You and Matt seem to be on the same level academically. I think you two will have a good time and it'll be helpful homework wise to have each other :) Plus I would imagine it would make the class a lot more interesting!

No, unfortunately Tedesco is teaching Biomedical Ethics and Ethical Theory. Gene Miller is teaching Philosophy of Science.

A man got into an elevator next to an extremely large woman who stood next to the buttons. "Ballroom, please," he said.
"Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize I was crowding you," she replied.
(Hey, it was funny in 9th grade.)
