<p>Hey so I'm trying to decide what classes to take for FPF but I'm at a loss. I'm planning on majoring in cognitive science while completing pre med reqs and I want to minor in Spanish if that makes a difference. I got a 4 on ap English language so I need one semester of r&c So far,</p>
<p>The only two classes I'm definitely taking are
Math 16a
Rhetoric b ( and I could be persuaded to English)
To fulfill my r&c req and math req for cog sci major</p>
<p>Then I can't decide between:</p>
<p>Psychology1 (3 credits, socio breadth)
Anthropology (4, bio or socio breadth)
Astronomy (4, phys sci breadth)
Philosophy 2(4, Phil or socio breadth)
ESPM50 (4, ac req and hist, socio, or Phil breadth)</p>
<p>I think I'm going to pick two from that section to have 13-14 credits. Leaning towards espm and psych. Does anyone have any input or insight into teachers or difficulty levels or anything of the sort? I'm just completely guessing and pulling at straws haha. Thank you!</p>
<p>go to ratemyprofessors search for berkeley and go to UC Berkeley extension. that’s the only website I found that has FPF professors. I didn’t take any of those classes so I can’t provide any insight.</p>
<p>Cognitive science major requirements include courses in social and behavioral sciences, philosophy and values, and biological science, so there is no need to take additional breadth courses for these categories. At least one optional major course covers historical studies.</p>
<p>So art and literature, physical science, and international studies may be the breadth categories you most need. There is also the American Cultures requirement.</p>
<p>I took phil 2 and espm50AC. Professor Spreyer is great! He talks a LOT though, and there’s a good amount of reading, but I thought the class was on the easier side and quite managable. The material is pretty interesting, in my opinion. Phil 2 was just alright. Great at first, but there were a group of students who were REALLY into philosophical debate, and the professor (Barnes) would just debate back and forth with them for the whole class, about essentially nonsense stuff. It felt like a waste of time, but some of the concepts were interesting - the lectures with Barnes were just full of nonsense examples and a bunch of what-ifs, with certain students always dominating the discussion. But then again, maybe that’s just philosophy.</p>
