Hello Everyone, and welcome to Week 6!
This is a reminder to RSVP to our upcoming meeting, Choosing Courses in Cognitive Science, happening TODAY (Feb 13) at 6:00pm in Engineering Hall 1200!
During this meeting, we'll be going over what courses the PSYCH/COGSCI department will be offering during the SPRING 2023 quarter, and we'll provide some loose guidelines for what courses to choose depending on your specific interests. We'll also provide resources to help you pick and organize your schedule for the next quarter. After the presentation, you'll have an opportunity to sit down with a CSA board member and ask individual questions during our schedule-building workshop. This is a perfect opportunity to come with any questions about courses next quarter and hear feedback from members who have taken courses you're interested in. RSVP today! We hope to see you there!
