Post-Bac Opportunities 3/25/20

Hi all,

I hope you are settling into your new locations and new routines.  Lots of adjustment for all of us, that’s for sure.

For those of you graduating and still looking for jobs, some more post-bac opportunities have come to my attention (download PDF). A fun aside: Arielle Borovsky, who is advertising one of these positions, was an undergraduate who worked with me many years ago, and I supervised her senior thesis.

Also, below are a few miscellaneous things that may be of interest to some of you: Continue reading “Post-Bac Opportunities 3/25/20”

Upper Division CS Courses

Hi all,

If you are pursuing the CS subconcentration within the cog sci major and are hoping to take any of their upper division courses (CSCI 101, 151, and 159 are the ones that count toward cog sci) in Fall, please note the following:

  1. You MUST fill out the survey that the CS department distributed for pre-pre enrollment.  I believe the survey ends sometime tomorrow.
  2. In the comments section, indicate that you are a cog sci major.  This is really important because without that acknowledgement, the odds of getting into the course are close to nil.  Even with the acknowledgment, there is no guarantee, but it might help.
  3. Do NOT tell them that you need that course to graduate because technically that isn’t true; any of these courses are not requirements per se, and they know that.
  4. Let me know if you are hoping to take one of the courses and which one(s).  You can also tell me why it’s imperative for you to get into the course (what’s the rationale).  This way, when CS reaches out to me, I can say that I knew about your interest in the course and can advocate on your behalf.

Thanks,

Lise
