Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Okay, I will admit: I am still on vacation. I’m just asking a friend to post this when she returns to the office, so that I would not have been silent for too long.

I’m also glad that another of my friends brought along a portable computer, so that I was able to type this out.

I will promise though that this will hopefully be the only time I will be doing this, and that next time I will try as much as possible to be physically present in the office when I type and post, or else I would not post at all.

Today I will talk about something that I have left over from the last time I was still in the office: my tentative load of subjects to teach for next term.

It seems that I will be handling three mechanics laboratory subjects, but none of the lectures. That honor belongs to the first person here who is my co-teacher but who was also my student before – in some of the basic electronics subjects that he is also teaching for the engineering students.

I was expecting him to be given this long before this (at least this present term), but it seems it is only now that his schedule in the other school(s) and here have matched up. I welcome this, because lab is much easier to handle than lecture. It also doesn’t mean we won’t be having a field trip that is required in the lab either.

I will also be teaching the two “Introduction to Robotics” classes, which will make it the third term in a row that I will be teaching the engineering freshmen. Not that I’m complaining. In fact, it’s important to wean them this early to my various teaching styles in various subjects (Mathematical Methods One last term, Manual Drafting this term).

Lastly I will be teaching Computer Architecture (lecture and lab) for the computer science, information management and computer engineering third year students.

This will be my first time to handle the upper class CS and IM students since being their teacher in mechanics lecture five terms ago. Not as if I don’t know how they have changed (or not changed) since then, as I still see some of them around campus. And I will be prepared for that.

Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Electromagnetic Theory, which I taught the same time last year, will now be handled by a newly hired teacher from the industry – particularly one of the leading telecommunications companies. So I have another free term without having to deal with Deiv to look forward to.

Session 833 has returned from the week long vacation at this point. Class dismissed.
