Classes I’m Taking Fall Quarter 2017

My entire schedule is filled up yet because I don’t know when all my discussion sections will be. In order to tie you over, here is a list of the classes I’m taking this quarter.

CS106B: This is a computer science class about programming abstractions in C++. I took this class last winter quarter, but I didn’t like the grade I got, so I’m retaking the class to get a better grade.

SymSys1: This is a required course for my intended major, Symbolic Systems. It’s an interdisciplinary major that is basically comparable to cognitive science. Right now we’re discussing the philosophy of the mind and I’m enjoying it so much. 

MUSIC123A: This is a music class on rhythmic composition. I really want to start composing my own music, so this is just taking me one step closer to my goal.

FilmStud4: This is an introductory course on film studies. If you follow me on my personal blog, you know that I love trying to analyze film and television shows. So it’s great that I get to take an entire course on something I’ve been trying to do since I was 13. I also hope it will help me make better YouTube videos as I plan to use what I learn and apply it to the films I make.

I feel like this quarter won’t be an easy one, but it’ll sure be one that I enjoy. FOr once, all the courses I’m taking I’m actually excited about and have always wanted to learn more about. If you have any questions about what these classes are like or anything at all, please feel free to ask.

New quarter, new schedule

Tentatively planned out the next two weeks of my academic life (without including studying for a quiz and an exam) and will probably post a picture of the schedule when it's done and details of how I set it up in the first place. Since I set it up at the end of my stats class yesterday I feel like I have a much better grip on my assignments and this semester.

Now is the Spring of our Discontents...and Winter is Far Away

There is no time more than the middle of my winter break that I am this aware of what's at stake, schedule wise, for academics. During the semester I am regularly run ragged by my obligations to students, traveling to conferences, and keeping up with my research agenda. The deadlines are daily and if I fail to meet them, as often happens, well, that's what the weekends and evenings are for. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, and I imagine that many people who love what they do find themselves giving anywhere between a little and way too much of their time to their profession. For academics, there is a myth, perpetuated by a few yokels out there, that once grades are turned in, it's all sitting by the fire, drinking some wine, and wasting time until the Spring starts up. In reality, or at least my reality, the winter offers a completely different type of stress, and it has a lot to do with the so called "freedom" I have to work at my own pace.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I also have research and service requirements. While all three areas have clearly measurable activities (I am evaluated by students and faculty during the semester as I teach, I publish journal articles, I get elected to service positions), there are also aspects that are more difficult to "work on." For example, I have to show how my teaching is improving/adjusting (hence, this blog), and in addition to publishing, I have to publish articles that gain a wide readership. Assuming I do all this, I might get tenure and promoted to Associate Professor after a matter of time. To go from Associate to Full Professor, I would then have to improve on my productivity and make a clear impact on my field of scholarship (i.e. random people I've never met should be able to speak about my work being a significant contribution to the field). 

As I've said before, my primary concern during the semester, when I have four classes and around 80 students to teach, is my students. It shouldn't be any other way. Of course conference and publication deadlines pop up here and there throughout the semester, so I manage these as well, and I invariably have a number of departmental/ university/ field related service requirements to attend to as well. This means that my winter and summer are spent 1) completing that which I wasn't able to complete during the semester, 2) continuing my research and service work, 3) planning classes for the next semester, 4) evaluating the work completed during the previous semester, and 5) planning and organizing for the tenure review process. 

For the most part, like the work I do during the semester, I enjoy the work I do when the semester is not in session. The difference is that during this time the only clear deadline I have is to finish as much as I possibly can before the next semester begins. Hence, the idea that these periods are not breaks is something I feel I am forever explaining, particularly to family and friends who wonder why I can't just drive/fly up to see them once the semester's done. Until I earn a Full Professorship (probably a good 12-15 years away, possibly longer), the freedom to really enjoy this time away from my classes, to engage in more long-term projects, and to work more slowly and deliberately, is simply a freedom that is out of reach.
