Jeremy Howard: The wonderful and terrifying implications of computers that can learn

Advanced Machine Learning with scikit-learn

My first teaching experience

I would have to say it was definitely a learning experience. I taught a database course to 40 mostly seniors and mostly male students. I spent the semester researching and learning which techniques were best used for teaching. I also learned how to create my own lectures, projects and exams. This experience definitely gave me a taste of what it would be like to teach professionally. I also learned a bit about myself. By the end of the semester I no longer felt uncomfortable with speaking in front of a group or answering questions and challenges on the fly. I also was impressed with many of the students in my class.

Now it is back to research!

And maybe teaching again in the future once I recover from this first one.
