  • In F25 it was cross-listed with PSYCH470, instructed by Samuel Johnson. As a first exposure to seminar courses coming from a computer science background, preparing for presentations was time-consuming but a fruitful experience. There was a neat level of flexibility as well. Make sure you set ground rules with your team and that you stick to your agreement throughout the term!

  • Took the section disagreement with John Turri and it was an awesome course! Each class had interesting discussions based on the assigned readings and the course ended with a final paper in which we had to disagree with ourselves.
