For anyone interested in my class, MEBI 531, which I mentioned in a previous email, anyone can enroll at the UW in what used to be "non-matriculated" status, without going through any admission process. The new name for this is "Non-degree enrollment" and you can take almost any class at the UW that has room (some are limited to degree majors, some have size limits, but mine is not limited in this way). All the info is at the UW web site at http://www.outreach.washington.edu/nondegree/ Two important things: 1. For a 3 credit graduate class (which mine is), the cost is about $1300 for tuition and other fees. 2. It looks like the UW outreach web site is missing a link - our department changed its name and course prefix a few years ago, to Medical Education and Biomedical Informatics (MEBI), so rather than going to the Time Schedule through the "Find a class" alphabetical list, use the link on the left, "go directly to the UW time schedule". Then select Autumn 2006, then scroll down through the schools, colleges and departments to the School of Medicine, then the Department of Medical Education and Biomedical Informatics. If you find that registering for the class requires an entry code or some such thing, contact Joan San at 206 616 0369 (jvsan@u.washington.edu). Best regards, Ira Kalet Gregory Martin Pfeil wrote:
At risk of getting myself into trouble here, I would like to add two things to this conversation:
1. I teach a course in the UW biomedical and health informatics graduate program, which is about biomedical computing using Common Lisp, but the disadvantage of that (it IS open to nonmatriculated students) is that the UW is expensive relative to other possible options. I'd love to have some people from the community join in. Here is the URL:
This is very cool. How does one go about enrolling?
