Courses PLEASE NOTE: Not all courses listed below are not offered by the Department of Psychology, and you will need to consult with your college advisor to find out how they will fit into your academic program. 10. NSCI 3100: Mind & Brain - Usable for Psychology BS Outside Foundation Looking for a course to take for spring to fulfill Psychology BS Outside Foundation requirements? NSCI 3100: Mind & Brain will count toward the Biological Sciences Foundation Cluster (Area D) of thePsychology Outside Foundation coursework. This course will cover topics such as decision-making, memory, imagination, cognition, neural systems of self-control, and the consequences of the physical mind. We will take a neuroscience and psychological perspective in which the physical neuroscience instantiates but does not diminish the psychological constructs. Although our conceptual framework will be computational, this course will not require or expect any mathematical or computer background. No prerequisites are required, but students are encouraged to have taken NSCI 1001 or NSCI 1100. For more information, contact Dr. David Redish at redish@umn.edu

Campus Resources 11. Student Conflict Resolution Center Need help with ANY campus-based problem or concern? The Student Conflict Resolution Center (SCRC) can help. SCRC staff can assist students with a variety of issues, including but not limited to: grading or instructional complaints, financial and billing conflicts, graduate advising concerns, scholastic or behavioral misconduct and academic incivility. Their services are confidential and free. You can contact the SCRC at: http://www.sos.umn.edu, by phone at: 612-624-7272 or email atsos@umn.edu. 12. Peer Research Consultants Working on a class project that requires library research? Peer Research Consultants are here to help! PRCs provide one-on-one assistance and give students an overview of using the libraries for research, formulating a paper topic and search, helping students to find scholarly articles, books, and more based on an individual's needs. They are upper-level undergraduates who have gone through 10+ hours of training on using the libraries. Using University libraries can be intimidating. The PRCs guide students to the subject librarians when needed and make it easier for students to set up that interaction. We have drop-in hours in Walter SMART Learning Commons or in MCAE in Appleby Hall or students can make an appointment. Check schedule at http://www.lib.umn.edu/services/prc.
