UNCP 5569 Capstone: How We Decide
Seniors only. Capstone classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation. Why did I eat at White Mountain at 11PM last night? And how can my friends convince me to go to Cityside when I know I should be studying? In this seminar, we will focus on how the mind and brain function to produce the decisions we ourselves make. The class is open to students from all majors, and there is no science prerequisite. Throughout the semester, we will reflect on our own past decisions, and consider alternative decision making strategies for the future.
