I am taking a nice load of approximately 19 units, but I still have yet to decide what to drop. Considering that I was planning to take the Sex and the City decal<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Philosophy of Language<\/b> taught by Searle, the philosopher known best for his Chinese Room argument in the computer\/mind debate. He doesn\\’t seem as impressive as he was 3 semesters ago in Philosophy of the Mind. Perhaps, he got older? Or maybe it\\’s the fact that I always have to sit on the floor every time I attend lecture? There are too many philosophy majors in this class, which might counterbalance the influx of cogsci majors (like me).<\/p>\n

Human Machine Systems<\/b> a graduate-level course that I almost didn\\’t take. It\\’s taught by a professor of surgery from UCSF. The main thing here is that the professor has the ability to bore all 30 of us. It\\’s a class of both grads and undergrads. The only reason I am staying is because I hope it would give me an edge if I get into grad school.<\/p>\n

Biological Basis of Human Dysfunction<\/b> This was the only class that blew me away on the first day. The professor was not only animated, but clearly knew his stuff. I loved he discussed Broca\\’s aphasia almost without a hint of sympathy.<\/p>\n

Statistical Inferences for Social and Behavioral Sciences<\/b> I feel like I could rape this class if I wanted to. *cough* Most of the students seem to give off the I-am-afraid-of-numbers aura. Furthermore, most people were sophomores and juniors. Not many seniors like myself. I like the classroom–in the style of a law school class where seats are arranged almost in a full circle so the prof speaks in the center.<\/p>\n

Industrial Design and Human Factors<\/b> Heard of Twister? Well now you got to try Tele-twister<\/a>! Real people actually play the moves you give them online at a scheduled time each week. I was pretty much intrigued with the professor when I applied for the research project (I later rejected his offer for an interview because I got another position). Outlook for class looks pretty good considering it\\’s mostly guest lectures. My main fear is that it\\’s full of engineers and not like-minded cog sci majors.<\/p>\n

Research!!!!!<\/b> Same thing as last semester. Hopefully this time, I would get more experience to perhaps…get me something during the summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
