Phenomenal course with phenomenal instructor (Vervaeke). I'm in cog sci, so I obviously love the material, but this is just an outstanding course at U of T. It's a mixture of philosophy and psych, with a little about artificial intelligence thrown in. It's a 200 level course with no pre-req, but it's nice to have some background in philosophy or psych before taking it.

UNI302 - Conceptual foundations of cognitive science
Marking Scheme: Weekly reading reasponses (choose 10/13 weeks at 2% each), Group annotation project (read and annotate articles. first draft 10%, second draft 10%), participation (15%), essay draft 1 (10%), commenting on other student's essays (15%), final draft of essay (20%).
Amazing course with amazing instructor (J. Luo) who cares so much about the material and the students. By far one of the best courses I've taken at U of T. He actually took the time to write individual responses to every item of writing from every student (30-40 people), including our weekly reading responses. You get as much out of this class as you put in. Unfortunately, the instructor won't be teaching it next year.
