People

Co-Presidents

Streams: Linguistics, minor in Computer Science

Favourite Cog Sci Course: For linguistics, I really enjoyed Second Language Syntax (LING 455), which sadly isn’t offered... But for Cogsci in general, I really enjoyed COMP 230 (Logic and Computability) - if you are fulfilling your logic requirement and logic doesn’t frighten you to your core I would highly recommend you take this one with Dr. Schlimm. He’s super fun and I learned a lot!
