Abstract
Sheffield was one of the first UK universities to introduce an undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science with an initial intake of students in 1990. The authors have been involved with teaching, admininistering, and developing the degree throughout the 1990s and most recently in overseeing its transformation into a degree entitled "Psychology and Cognitive Science". This paper provides a case-study of our experience in developing and co-ordinating Cognitive Science teaching at Sheffield. We review some of the particular problems we have faced, assess our varied attempts at solving them, and identify some unresolved issues which are likely to be faced by anyone seeking to provide training in Cognitive Science at an undergraduate level.
