So working on my Masters in Artificial Intelligence and then Phd. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hope you are ok yes it is becoming less popular and just about had enough of teaching with the behaviour of some students now and the increase in work load.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Don’t blame people leaving I used to love teaching and was happy to have knocked back a double degree in electrical engineering but lately things have changed and workload has increased. There is no longer a life balance so I admit getting close to give it up as well.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> All the best in your new work.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Vera<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"> From: sofdev <sofdev-bounces@edulists.com.au> On Behalf Of Andrew Shortell Sent: Tuesday, 12 July 2022 3:10 PM To: Year 12 Software Development Teachers' Mailing List <sofdev@edulists.com.au> Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] Thanks to all<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Hi All Thanks to Kevork for these lists - they have been invaluable to me There are only a few people left who have been teaching in these subjects since Kevork started these email lists (and now one less). I know how useful to me these emails have been including the material shared, the peer review, the general camaraderie and the knowledge that I am not alone in the sea. Thanks also to everyone who has ever contributed - you are all part of the community. Sadly email is no longer trendy and so there are fewer regular contributors and in fact there are fewer teachers of these subjects It has been more than a year since I have even been in a classroom and I really cannot face going back to how classrooms are nowadays (not like the olden days in the mid 1980’s) So farewell Andrew Shortell (old and retired) _______________________________________________ <a href="http://www.edulists.com.au">http://www.edulists.com.au</a> - FAQ, Subscribe, Unsubscribe IT Software Development Mailing List <o:p></o:p> </div> Marist-Sion College acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which the school is situated, and pays respect to the Elders, past and present. <HR SIZE=1> Attention This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential and, if you are not the intended recipient, you must not disclose or use the information in this message.
