Various Learning and HPC Teaching
Nov. 14th, 2021 09:17 pmWith interviews completed, I am down to the last few thousand words to complete my MHEd thesis, and thus my sixth degree which means it should be ready by the end of this month and hopefully the final draft by mid-December. After this, I have to deal with degree number seven which I've been doing in the London School of Economics. Currently halfway through, I am thinking of changing to another institution; LSE has good content but it's been resting on its laurels for far too long; the teaching is close to non-existent, the assessment methods belong in the last century and the administration (University of London) is the worst I have experienced. I have a small mountain of courses in the subject from prior studies and would be looking for somewhere I could do graduate studies online and would accept credit from other institutions. My preferences would be internationally rather than an Australian institution, as I've developed quite a thing for being an international scholar. In another discipline, I also have a revision from the reviewers of my article to the Polish Journal of Aesthetics to complete this week.
Anyway, on the other side of the lectern, I have three HPC courses next week; the major one being Regular Expressions with Linux and HPC, with an increased emphasis on parallel use of the usual tools and their incorporation with HPC job submission scripts. The revision has made me realise the need to add more content for GNU parallel into the parallel processing course, and more database-style content using languages like awk, but also elaborating on utilities like cut, paste, and join that I use in the Advanced Linux and Shell Scripting workshop to a greater extent, and tying together with some SQLite content and, of course, how to tie all this together in HPC job submission scripts. It's the reality of this sort of deep-dive teaching is that one finds there is always additional content that should be included according to demand, and as a result, at a certain point a workshop has to be split up. Fortunately, being well-trained in modular design my workshops are designed for such an eventually. I think there will be a "Database Programming with Linux and HPC".
