Oh, I agree. I could tell why the only classes he taught were at the graduate level, even though that was unusual on this faculty. (Most of the biggest "names" on the faculty actually taught lower-division courses, not just undergraduate courses.) His lecture was highly technical; if we hadn't already had a pretty solid introduction to the field, I'm sure most of the class would have been at sea. If you want to understand his work, reading Steven Pinker is the way to go. (I regret not being able to fit Pinker's Intro to Psychology into my schedule; he's a hell of a teacher.)

Don't be. It came of being moderately bored and needing to fill in elective credits. :D Plus, it's not like I actually did anything with all of that behind me, unlike Chomsky. I was just curious, in need of elective credits and not wanting to take the usual Basket-Weaving 101 to fill in the gaps.
Dina:
I don't really know if I like your credit system (it's not a critic, just an honest comment, I don't know if I would have liked it. Probably yes, as I like so many different things)
Shecky:
I kind of like it, to be truthful. It means that you definitely have to go outside your own narrow field and see what else is out there in the world.
