well, the break is over, back on my knees! this semester looks to be a good one, albeit a difficult one. both classes are lecture classes, rather than discussion classes (ie: read literature in the subject, discuss.) while i enjoy classes structured in such a fashion -- i get exposed to new subjects, engage in intellectual discussion over said subjects -- i must admit to an affinity to lecture classes. they and their subjects tend to be more knowledge driven -- here's what we know, here are rules and how we got to be here, learn it. i've got two this semester like that and my geek sense is definitely tingling.
in the morning, it's networks from the ground up. this is exactly what i need, network knowledge wise, and it looks to be a full-blown knowledge feast on what they are and how they work. the other class is formal methods in distributed programming. this looks to be a rigorous account of how to write concurrent programs and be confident they actually work. ok, that's a super simple take on the class, but that's what it boils down to.
btw, anyone have a job they could spare? great, thanks!
