School
We often have guest professors. They come in and teach an intense two week class, and are either employed by big name schools (the last one was from MIT) or are big names in their field (the OTHER last one was on a team working under a man that eventually won a Nobel prize for their work). Our Consumer Behavior class scheduled a week with an expert in "new media." Unfortunately, she was supposed to fly from the US, and is stranded because of the volcanic ash situation. However, being an expert in new media apparently makes you unafraid of video conferencing. This is a picture from my class on Monday. It was 3 in the morning, her time (hence the coffee). It's been surprisingly effective - her on one side, her slides on the other. When we have questions, the assistant in the front of class just hands us a microphone.
I was in the computer lab the other day and had a flashback. The Swiss must love turning old bathrooms into computer rooms... look familiar?
That's all. My days are long, lately, and I have more group work than I know what to do with. So for now, this is all I'm capable of.
