i will be attending the conference on teaching cognitive science at amherst next month and was wondering the following: 1. Are there any cognitive science students on the network? ( i.e. students that would like / have a major in cognitive science as an undergraduate or a graduate degree program perhaps. ) 2. Does anyone ( grad students, undergrads, teachers, industry types ) have any important comments about the teaching of cognitive science and about the field in general?

In answer to the cog-sci teaching/students/conference query: 1. I am a cognitive science student. Actually, I'm doing a tutorial studies program in neurobiology and cognitive science at the University of Chicago, and will graduate (B.A.) this spring. 2. Problems? Well, I suppose the fact that I had to transfer to Chicago in order to pursue the independent studying that I wanted was a problem, though not unique to cognitive science. I *would* suggest that cog-scientists develop interdisciplinary programs such as are seen at UCSD, UMass, and a few other places (e.g., incorporating neural net study to attract comp-sci/AI students.
