Guideline
I hear and I forget,
I see and I remember,
I do and I understand.
--- Chinese Proverb
We will hear lectures from scientists and artists, read book chapters and research papers, and do exercises in both science and art. There will be in-class surprise quizzes, weekly assignments and one course project. No mid-term or final exams.
This course involves numbers, but anything we need should be given in the class or assignments. The projects will be tailored to students' majors. For example, a computer science major that has taken a computer vision course should take up a more computation-intensive project.
This is a course offered to an audience of diverse backgrounds. We will learn from each other, and it is going to be fun.
