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

Immediately after my Computer Architecture lecture class, I had my first meeting with my first class in Introduction to Robotics. This is the first time that I’m handling the course, although this time last year I had assisted my co-teacher in setting up the necessary materials for the same course.

My students are mostly the same engineering freshmen who were in my Graphics Two: Manual Drafting class last term, and in my Mathematical Methods One class two terms ago.

In fact, last term I was only introduced to a handful of engineering majors who were not in my MM1 class, which means that I had actually already met more than eighty percent of them at the start of the school year.

The balance of my class at that time were computer science majors, and I thought that I would not bee seeing them again unless I happened to be the teacher of their general science mechanics lecture or lab class.

As it turns out from my load this term, I might be their teacher in a course other than that during their third year again after all.

Some of the CS freshmen are my students again this term, though, because Introduction to Robotics is considered as a special floating elective for them, although it is a required subject for the engineering students, for whom it is also a prerequisite, of course to Intermediate and Advanced Robotics.

And given the feedback from the engineering sophomores (who were in their third term as freshmen when they took the class last school year, naturally) I’m not surprised that the computer science majors had decided to take this course.

Last school year, there were no computer science students in the Introduction to Robotics class, maybe because they heard of the complicated curriculum that David had taught those who are now juniors. Back then, the engineering majors excelled in the circuitry part and the CS majors handled the programming easily, but they found the task of the others almost a foreign language to them.

In fact, there was even a rumor of some Business Administration and Communication Arts majors taking an interest.

Session 925 pauses here. Class dismissed.
