NeuroSci Dominated Post

After a bit of neglecting to post anything (caused by to much running around), here's a random post. It's snowing outside, again, so I'm in no hurry to go and sort books, again. I'll start off with the more serious note concerning the future of the NeuroSci track as suggested by the brainstorming session of last Wednesday (to which 4 students, 1 ASIC member (doubling as 5th student) two teachers and a head of department showed up to). The 235 is suggested to be adapted and turned into the 100 level (using the book currently used for the 200-level). The 300-level works as it is, though there is still some question as to how HUM 333 fits in. A new 235 needs to be created, using a more advanced text book, going into more depth. A finding on the side is that the course outlines of the courses as they are offered at present, are promising, with the courses being a little disappointing.

NOTE: It's a New-Mexico study, published in NeuroImage. Can't find the online article, so trustworthiness of the research is not determined.
