Humanities undergrads all sign up for Intro to Psych, because they want to understand, like, how people think 'n' stuff.
Then most discover it's 90% history and statistics, with lots of debate about what's actually true, and don't take it any further.
Machine Learning is the CS equivalent - broad appeal, but to take it any further it's mostly maths and stats, which turns a lot of people off.
- normloman 13y agoNo they don't. They sign up for Intro to Psych because it's a required course.
- porlw 13y agoNot where I live - unless you're studying for a Psych degree of course. Other BA students could take it as an elective. It was by far the most popular first year course in the Humanities department.
