From Laundry to Linux: Two Productive Days in Lusaka

Yesterday (April 30) and today (May 1), I spent some time doing laundry while also setting up my Raspberry Pi with Umbrel OS. I installed the software I need and started backing up my data today, deciding to go with Seafile for it.

I worked on all of this at the hostel, then took a walk to the university and continued in the library. Later, I went to a burger place and enjoyed a Friday deal.

Here are some photos from these two days.

I worked on all of this at the hostel, then took a walk over to the university and continued in the library. Later today, I headed to a burger place and took advantage of a Friday deal.

ChatGPT is in classrooms. How should educators now assess student learning?

Today I completed my author’s course for early-career researchers and PhD students at our university.

We focused on things that are often missing from formal curricula: how to design a study that does not fall apart halfway, how to work with scholarly sources, and how to keep coherence between research questions, methods, and results.

I hope it became one small step toward a more conscious and sustainable research path for the participants.

What Was Student Life Like in a Medieval University? https://www.medievalists.net/2024/11/what-was-student-life-like-in-a-medieval-university/ #medieval #university #universitylife

I see a lot of university types here, professors, researchers, librarians, graduate students, various offices …

Where are the undergraduates? Are any here?

I’d enjoy hearing from undergrads why you choose the Fediverse. Thinking about how I promote this place to my students. Replies and boosts welcome.

In university, my progressive student movements stimulated late nights in coffee shops, leading to a refined coffee palate with no sugar. Defined as a 'revolution', this phase awakened my taste buds.

Harry, a first-year economics student at #Melbourne #University, was excited to start his academic journey. However, he felt left out when his tutorials were conducted mainly in Mandarin, making it hard for him to participate. The University of Melbourne is investigating the issue, while TEQSA emphasises that universities must ensure students have the necessary English proficiency. #EducationMatters #Inclusion #UniversityLife #MelbourneUniversity #TEQSA #LanguageBarrier #HigherEducation #PonziScheme #FreeEducation

A post I read struck me as very interesting when I stumbled across it. It's about the differences in lifestyle, and other soft factors, between getting a PhD and having an industry job. The author is trying to compare life and academia versus life in industry. Since I've been living some of that for the last decade(s), I noticed there are some things that aren't mentioned. So, a thread.

Thought of my students today. It's a tough time, exams. Blues music often describes hardship, melancholy, and struggle. So here's something to get y'all through the exams 😄 🎶

I asked Claude 3.5 Sonnet to write two blues verses about the tough time of exams. Then I asked Sono to make the music, slow blues with heavy bass, and to sing the lyrics.

Today is presentation day for our 3D-Vision #3DV course. Students will present posters and demos of the projects that they have worked on over the course of the semester.
But my most important question after scrolling through their materials: Did my students have enough fun with the robot??

The new academic year is about to start at UNSW and I am looking forward to leading the course 'Earth and Environmental Science' in Term 1.

We have a few spaces available, so this is my call out to anyone who is studying at UNSW Sydney, or who knows someone who is studying.

For anyone interested in taking this course as an elective subject, there is more information in the picture below

I never knew about this US 'market' where high school students are coached by researchers (who seem to get paid well) to write research papers, which are then hosted as preprints or published in student research journals (for a fee, of course). All to help those prileged enough to afford this to get into university.

End of semester! Today I submitted the last of three essays due this past week. The euphoria lasted all of two hours... before I began mentally champing at the bit for next semester, with a fantastic work placement at Paxton House and finally for research for my dissertation to get properly underway. Can't wait! #EndOfTerm #ChristmasBreak #UniversityLife
