Cognitive Science / Symbolic Systems at LACs

<p>

Sounds great.</p>

<p>One hopes that LAC advising is as good as it’s made out to be; I certainly intend to make full use of it. And I’m open to dabbling in a “non-science major” course in bio or the like; but for now, I don’t want to constrain myself into doing so.</p>

<p>It occurs to me also that a better analogy would be CS-math to cogsci-psych. In both cases, some grounding is essential; but not all CS majors will enjoy math (or even all math majors–I had a math teacher who was brilliant at applied/discrete math but failed calculus 3 times), and not all cogsci majors will enjoy psychology. I do think that it’s important for all cogsci majors to study some psych.</p>
