WHAT I'M STUDYING :: ARCHIVED ENTRY

Spring '04 Classes Scheduled
I got up at 6 a.m. this morning to register for my Spring classes. I have two required classes, Design Seminar II and Design Studio II. Normally in my program, I would have a third required class, Research Methods for Human-Centered Design, but I've done a fair amount of this in my professional life so I was able to petition the graduate committee and get exempted from it.

So I basically had two electives open to me. I wanted badly to take Game Design, but it is being taught away from the main campus and it would have interfered with Studio, so unfortunately that will have to wait until next year. Instead, I'm taking one of CMU's signature courses, Time, Motion, and Communication, taught by Dan Boyarski. Another design class I'm taking is a mini (that is, only runs half a semester) called Sketching & Modeling. I need all the help in that area I can get.

Rounding out my schedule is a class in the School of Social and Decision Sciences called Reason, Passion, and Cognition. All about how and why people make choices. I thought it was important to take at least one class this year that wasn't strictly-speaking Design, although with a three word title like that, it almost could be.

These plus the class I'm teaching should make for a very jam-packed couple of months. Then again, for all the trouble and expense of being here, I want as much out of this place as I can reasonably pack in in two years.
