Today I finished off the extended topic of Photography with my last groups of ethics students. This was the topic interrupted by a week off in the middle for me to recover from COVID. I’d planned to have a week off after this for the Easter break, so that will give me a bit more time to get over this lingering cough. It’s been tricky to do Zoom classes with kids without collapsing into coughing fits now and then.
I did a COVID test again this morning and it came up negative, so I could go into the university this afternoon for the next lecture of Data Engineering. Today was a guest lecture by a person from Mathworks, talking about how to use MatLab to do machine learning and deep learning for data analysis and classification. I find this a bit of a hard core turn from the more introductory level material of previous weeks, and I wonder how easy it is for the students who suddenly find themselves in the deep end of data analysis techniques.
For that course I also have a week off, since next Monday is the Easter Monday public holiday, and there are no lectures at the university. So I have a full week off from all teaching commitments! I should be able to relax a bit, and maybe get a head with some comics writing.
