Mr Wonder might recall that his course was different because his was science based - but his courses were a lot better than mine inasmuch as some years later in Amsterdam, he was able to provide an inspired lecture on the nature of hallucinations from memory while tripping on a hotel room floor.
Bear in mind though that my course was fairly eclectic by most standards, so there were only a few areas that went very deep into specialist areas.
It was Computer Science in a fairly pure form. Lecture courses included the physics and design of individual semiconductor-based transistors, how hallucinogens and brain damage affect human cognition and vision (and what that reveals about how the brain works at a gross physical and electrochemical level), cryptography and reverse engineering (much of what I learned there is now illegal to know, let alone practise), and scary futuristic-sounding things (at the time) such as grid computing.
