Cognitive Science Introductory Week 2010
How to study Cognitive Science
Courses
• Compulsory courses (= Pflichtkurse)
• Optional compulsory courses (Wahlpflichtkurse)
• Optional courses
• You may take any course offered at the University, as long as the
lecturer agrees with that (language courses, photography, art, …)
• Profilbildender Wahlbereich
• Helpful for people who are interested in e.g. Biological-chemistry
• Courses from your semester abroad
• Have a look at the database at the IKW
homepage
http://www.ikw.uniosnabrueck.de/en/lectures
• Only the study commission decides on the
assignment to the examination fields. You can
find this as well at the data-base (and you should
only rely on these information - not on Stud.IP
!!!!!)
• If you want to take courses from another
department (e.g. psychology) and you want it to
count for a module, you should request this
BEFORE the semester at a member of the StuKo
Modules

(Klausur)) für …
5.1.3.685
• Sensory Physiology
SS
• Functional Neuroanatomy (mit benotetem Leistungsnachweis

 You have to take 2 of them, Intro to Neurobiology is strongly recommended!!!

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. 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!
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)
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
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!
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
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.
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
See you Thursday
Hello to session 2
Types of courses
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lecture
Seminar
Practice Session
Tutorial
Blockcourse
Practical course
• 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
Getting started
• 10 – 12(ct) = 10:15 – 11:45
• 10-12 sharp or (st) = 10:00 – 11:30 (or 12)
