Lecture

Professor Σ is away until Wednesday. This has been fairly common this semester, due to his long list of non-class responsibilities. In the class I TA, we had a visit from Career Services once, and a midterm review (which I ran) last time.

Tomorrow, I’m lecturing. Fortunately, not on our recent class topics (lambda calculus and denotational semantics) but on something a bit more practical: programming for the web.

I wrote up a brief outline, and now I’m hacking together slides in Keynote. I have to say, I’m hugely impressed with people who can lecture with slides twice a week. This is an incredible amount of work! I can only hope someone learns something.

It is an absolutely huge amount of work, isn’t it? I never realized until I taught the once-a-week three hour lecture class a year and half ago. Hours and hours of prep. Apparently, it gets better once you’ve taught the class before, but I’m not so sure.

I now have a vastly greater appreciation for my professors and teachers.
