Audio Transcript Excerpt: ACADEMIC ADVISOR: 'Welcome back, Marcus. I pulled up your degree audit for the Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Systems. You've fulfilled almost all core distribution requirements in computer science and psychology. However, to clear you for graduation this spring, our department requires one designated laboratory capstone course. You're currently registered for COG 401, which is a pure theoretical seminar, rather than COG 402, the empirical laboratory practicum.' STUDENT: 'Oh, I assumed COG 401 satisfied the requirement because it had a coding component in the course description.'
