Huzzah, I registered for classes today! (And got all the ones I wanted :D)
Mon/Wed/Fri
11:00 -- 11:50 Intro to Archeology
"Change and development of prehistoric cultures from 3 million B.C. to early civilizations; selected Old World and New World cultures. Basic archaeoloical methods."
12:00 -- 12:50 Language and Culture
"Methods and case studies in anthropological linguistics; relationship between language and culture; language structure."
1:00 -- 1:50 Neuroethics
"Although the scientific study of empirical fact has traditionally been kept at some distance from the philosophical study of moral value, a new field of neuroethics has emerged. The program is interdisciplinary, borrowing from work that cuts across the disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, and philosophy. In this seminar we will explore the following questions: What can science, specifically neuroscience, tell us about our moral judgments, moral reasoning and moral behavior? What affect might a scientific explanation of our decision-making and actions have on our notions of free will and moral responsibility? How have our moral capacities evolved? Do empirical discoveries that explain how we do behave and reason support claims about how we ought to behave and reason? This new field of neuroethics promises to have important practical consequences for moral education and the future of the legal system, as well as interesting philosophical consequences for our understanding of human nature, free will and moral value."
Tues/Thurs
12:15 -- 1:30 The Face of the Earth
"Occurence, formation, accumulation, and availability of minerals and rocks as earth resources; geological agents and processes that modify the earth's surface; study of local rock types to explain their origin. Field trips."
1:40 -- 3:20 (Tues) Lab
(No, I did not choose that science because of "field trips," not at all.)
