Previous Survey Next Survey

Survey: We will probably not get through all of the tutorials, so I wanted to give the class a chance to express its desires. Note that we are constrained by the syllabus. We should do everything promised, but there will be time for more material and there will be some flexibility in how much time we spend on individual topics. List the tutorials and other topics you most want to see covered (or covered throughly) in the class.

Student A:

  • The myelinated axon
  • Postsynaptic inhibition
  • Neuromuscular Junction
  • Site of Impulse Initiation

Student B:

I like the tutorials & topics we've been covering in class. It'd easier (and probably happier) for us to continue spending time on the tutorials. I also like the tutorials we have on the syllabus.

It might be a good challenge to jump into the papers earlier in the semester. I skimmed through some of the papers and realized that the papers are deep and the math is not trivial. So, if you plan to make the three papers the major aspect of the class, I think it'd be beneficial to start understanding them earlier in the semester.

The papers are just there for background. We won't cover them in any detail.

Student C:

From the syllabus, I think I would most enjoy NEURON programming, model selection, and learning Bayesian filtering. I don't mind doing the tutorials - they are undoubtedly informative and useful - but they can get tiring in a series.
