Theory and Methods of Computational Linguistics • Introduction to Linguistics • Introduction to Computational Linguistics 8.3000 SS 6. Theory and Methods of Cognitive Psychology / Neuropsychology • Semester course: Cognitive Psychology / Neuropsychology or • block course: Cognitive Neuropsychology (I + II) (offer not guaranteed, depends on availability of the lecturer ) SS 7. Neuroinformatics / Neurocomputerscience • Neuroinformatics (Lecture + Tutorial) 8.3047 8. Philosophy of Mind • Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind (Lecture) SS Remember: names and numbers of the courses may change from one semester to another! Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Module examinations • In 5 of the 8 modules • At least 3 oral examinations • If you want to take a module examination, you have to take the compulsory courses (Pflichtkurse) AND enough optional compulsory courses (Wahlpflichtkurse) (enough means you need a certain number of ECTS points) • For two modules it is sufficient to hand-in your graded “Scheine” • (you have to hand-in the “Scheine” of your compulsory courses and additionally these of the optional compulsory courses) • For the other three (8 – 5) modules it is sufficient to take only the compulsory courses (Pflichtkurse) Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 there are other courses… …which do not count for any module, but still are compulsory (Pflichtkurs) • Empirical Methods of Cognitive Science • Have a look at the statistics-slide • Foundations of Logic • Foundations of Logic I Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 8.3012 1st semester courses (obligatory) • • • • • Informatik A: Algorithmen (12 ECTS) Introduction to Logic (8 ECTS) Introduction to Linguistics (4 ECTS) Introduction to Neurobiology (4 ECTS) Optional but recommended : Foundations of Cognitive Science (4 ECTS) • Mathematics (12 ECTS) • Statistics (12 ECTS) The recommendation is to take the „Algorithmen“-course and additionally take either the „Statistics“ or „Mathematics“ course! • You need 44 ETCS-points after the 2nd semester! Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Mathematics / Informatics problem • • • • both courses offered every winter term Both of them are very time consuming Math can be helpful for other courses The Algorithmen lecture can be helpful as well Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Mathematics • Compulsory course “Standardpflichtveranstaltung” is “Mathe für Anwender I” (Stud.IP 6.606) – Alternatives: • “Lineare Algebra 1” (StudIP 6.020) • “Analysis 1” (StudIP 6.002) • Module – – – – “Mathe für Anwender 1” + “Mathe für Anwender 2” “Lineare Algebra 1” + “Lineare Algebra 2” Both of the alternatives mentioned above 1 of the mentioned alternatives + “Formalisierung von Wissen” or “Numerische Mathematik” or “Diskrete Mathematik” – There may be other courses which count for the optional compulsory part (Wahlpflichtbereich). You can find these courses every semester at the lectures page of the IKW page. Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Statistics • 2 possibilities – Statistik und computergestützte Datenanalyse I (StudIP 8.1430/8.1431) and the corresponding practice session: Statistik und Computergestützte Datenanalyse I für Cognitive Science Studierende (StudIP 8.3069) • Together 9 ECTS-points! This is ,according to the StuKo, enough for the compulsory part (Pflichtbereich) , even though initially 12 points were demanded. • From the psychology department, but not for the psychology module! – Statistik (Lecture + Practice, StudIP 6.142) • Is also sufficient for the compulsory part • Mathematics department • BUT will be a lot of more work than the course for Psychologists Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 See you Thursday Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Hello to session 2 Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Types of courses • • • • • • Lecture Seminar Practice Session Tutorial Blockcourse Practical course Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 • ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) – For every course you get a certain number of these credits. You need them for your modules and for your bachelor`s degree • Scheine – You get a „Schein“ if you passed a course of study – You can pick them up at the “Prüfungsamt” or from Opium – If a course was offered from another department than CogSci you have to pick your “Schein” up from the corresponding “Prüfungsamt” – Ask the lecturer if the “Schein” has not arrived after a while at the “Prüfungsamt” • VP-Stunden (Versuchs-Personen-Stunden) – You have to participate as a test subject for all together 5 hours Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Getting started • 10 – 12(ct) = 10:15 – 11:45 • 10-12 sharp or (st) = 10:00 – 11:30 (or 12) Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 Organisation • Mailinglist: – https://www.cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de/mailman/listinfo • • • • stud.bsc stud.all var.lutter (fachschaft) – Use your unimail account – Problems? mailman@cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 • Rechenzentrum • https://www-ssl.rz.uni-osnabrueck.de/bk/bk.htm • Change your password! • You need this for StudIP, Opium, CipPools, etc. • W-Lan • Connect to „Uni-Osnabrück“ • Key: E.9w5h+.+oecF • Login-page: here you need your RZ-login again • Cards: • Library card • Cip-Pool card • Print card Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010 • Rückmeldung: • The only thing you have to do is to transfer the money • Deadlines: 1. - 28.2 and 1. – 31.7 each year • Important: hand in all your „Scheine“ as soon as possible in the second semester.
