Another demo

Looks like I'm being eyed to teach another course in Maths. I was asked to do a demo for Stats for Life Sciences on Wednesday. My name was forwarded to the course handler/lecturer after the demos I gave for Linear Algebra and Calculus. I'm not as experienced in Stats as in the other courses, so this makes me a bit nervous. I wouldn't mind not doing it, but the course handler knows me from the lab. It'll be embarrassing if I mess it up.

I'm grabbing a library book on the way home today to spruce up my Stats.

Maths demo tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the schedule I have for the tutorial demo at maths. If I do well, I can be looking at at least 4 hours a week of teaching.

I'm not sure I want the added workload, and I've been advised against it. Though I do need the money, and the diversion from thesis work can sometimes help. I also did note the last week that attempting to prepare a class lesson was enjoyable.

So here's hoping I do well. I can still decide not to push through with the gig should I get it. And there's also the chance I won't be given a schedule, or I'm not wanted at all.

A blue form

So about item (3) in this list, I'm being summoned to the other school to fill out a blue form. Ok so that other school is the Maths and Stats school. It gets me excited to think that I can experience tutoring in an actual Maths school here. Two reasons:

(1) I'm not in a maths school at the moment. Though I am sorta doing maths-related research.
(2) I used to teach maths. In fact I taught maths for a while after graduating from a maths degree.

I'll stop counting eggs before they hatch for now. No jinxing!!
