Students choosing the same final project option meet in small groups weekly to present their plans and progress notes for support and critique. A three-page final project description is presented early in the course, and all projects are presented during the last four weeks. An application or outline of study should be submitted to the instructor by the end of the semester previous to that in which this course is to be taken. This course gives a survey of the field of cognitive psychology from an information-processing viewpoint. This course considers how people encode, organize, transform, and output information.
Emphasis is given to such topics as concept formation, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
Registering for Courses Continuing students can register for courses using the telephone registration system. The telephone registration will be turned on November 30, 1998. The beginning date for graduate students to access the system will be staggered from November 30 through December 4, based on the students' degree credits, so by December 4 all eligible continuing graduate students will be able to register by telephone for the Spring 1999 semester. Winter Session classes are offered through Continuing Education. Those who allow active status to lapse and then seek to return at a later date are liable for all accumulated fees and will be required to apply for re-admission.
