Did I tell you what I ended up going with, in terms of classes? I picked the "don't know enough AI yet" option, and the class looks pretty exciting. It's relevant to what we're working on -- the goal for the semester is a system that gradually posits, tries out, and retracts (as necessary) grammar rules for an unfamiliar language. And that's precisely the symbolic rule-learning sort of thing that happens in this class!
The other thing that I'm jazzed about (bizarrely) is C211 -- we've got a really good staff of undergraduate TAs, including a freshman art major, and they're pumped up about programming and making new assignments and getting Guido (my new grading system) polished up and deployed. Semi-relatedly, they're also pumped up about the "CS Club", which I was heretofore only vaguely aware of, but they apparently want to have CS Club Hackathons and find FOSS projects to contribute to. So: Rawk!
Oswego!
