  • CSCI 2270 - Computer Science 2: Data Structures
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018
    Studies data abstractions (e.g., stacks, queues, lists, trees, graphs, heaps, hash tables, priority queues) and their representation techniques (e.g., linking, arrays). Introduces concepts used in algorithm design and analysis including criteria for selecting data structures to fit their applications. Knowledge OF C++ is highly recommended. Degree credit not granted for this course and CSCI 2275. Same as CSPB 2270.
  • CSCI 3702 - Cognitive Science
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2021
    Introduces cognitive science, drawing from psychology, philosophy, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and linguistics. Studies the linguistic relativity hypothesis, consciousness, categorization, linguistic rules, the mind-body problem, nature versus nurture, conceptual structure and metaphor, logic/problem solving and judgment. Emphasizes the nature, implications and limitations of the computational model of mind. Recommended prerequisites: two of the following CSCI 1300 or CSCI 2275 or LING 2000 or PHIL 2440 or PSYC 2145.
