CSCI 357 Spring 2021 schedule for Cognitive Science & Cognitive Systems cohort
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science: Building Artificial Minds
- I would highly suggest not waiting until the last minute for the readings. Some readings can be dense and they are the type that you benefit from thinking about a bit. You will also be expected to discuss these readings and any lack of discussion in group/class settings will be reflected within your grade.
- Note that some readings are due the week after, that is, they are assigned to be discussed on the Monday of the following week
