SCANS (COGS 91) is a CSSA sponsored seminar class that covers topics not found in other classes, such as graduate school and current events.
Hey everyone,
As was announced at the GBM, out old wiki got shutdown and we are trying to put up something for now that will replace the wiki as a student resource for CogSci classes.
Definitely check it out. In order to add things/edit parts of the wiki you will need a login....
What you are going to want to do is go to this website:
http://cssawiki.pbwiki.com/request_access.php
You should see a page that says 'Request Access to cssawiki". Here you will be able to send us an email and we can give you access. Please use your UCSD Email account so that we know you are not a crazy spammer!(that's why our old one got shutdown in the first place). Once you have access you can edit pages, add pages and make links and all that jazz...if you have any questions, let Kevin know (knazario@ucsd.edu).
Check it out and Enjoy the Quarter.
