Discovering my inner librarian
| -UncategorizedJust as my friends and I have corrupted
Marcelle and brought out his
inner geek, Clair exposed my inner
librarian. And to think it all started when she convinced me to
bookmark stuff using del.icio.us… Now I'm
flipping through the course listings for the Faculty of Information
Studies and wondering how I can fit some of those courses into my
M.A.Sc. Mechanical and Industrial Engineering program!
Here are all the courses I'm considering.
MIE (I need one more class from the department):
| MIE 1510 | Formal Techniques in Ontology Engineering | Tue 2-4 Need instructor's permission because of prereqs. Might be too formal? Would help with project, though |
| MIE 1403 | Methods in Human Factors | Does this fit the kind of work I might do, or should I go to FIS and learn how to measure the performance of information retrieval systems? |
| MIE 1409S | Human Computer Interface Design for Complex Systems | Mon 9-11, Th 9-12. Potentially useful, but it's a joint undergrad class that starts on January 9, so I might end up missing two lab sessions in a row. Also, undergrad-synched classes probably won't give me the full grad experience |
Non-MIE courses:
| KMD 2002 | Technologies for Knowledge Media | Summer? |
| KMDI 1001 | Fundamental Concepts in Knowledge Media Design | Not offered this spring |
| KMDI 1002 | Research Frontiers in Knowledge Media Design | Wed 2-5. Might require KMDI 1001? I want to learn more about knowledge media |
| CS 2537H | Hypermedia | Need instructor's permission |
| FIS 2168H | Information Retrieval Systems | Analysis and design? Tue 1-4 |
| FIS 2186H | Metadata Schemas and Applications | Tue 9-12, could be useful but might be more for librarians and information scientists |
| FIS 2169H / KMD 2001H | User-centred Information Systems Development | Wed 9-12 |
| FIS 2140H | Young People: Current & Emerging Information Practices | Could be interesting; may be more of social science, though |
| FIS 2142H | Theories of Classification and Knowledge Organization | Mon 9-12 |
| KMD 2001 | Human-Centred Design | Wed 9-12 |
| KMD 2003 | Knowledge Media & Learning | Likely offered in summer 2006. Check in again. |
