Snow and Sky: Thoughts about my Parallel Computing class

Thoughts about my Parallel Computing class

The prof lost his voice! I hope he doesn't sound that squeaky on a regular basis. He also seems very distracted in his speaking style, something which really irritated me during the class. I don't know exactly why I felt impatient... it's not like I've got a whole lot to do, but he kept saying the same things over and over - literally, he told us 5 or 6 times that the consent forms we were filling out for some study were optional, not mandatory, he would never know, it would never affect our grade, etc., etc., etc... I hope his next lectures are clearer.

The class seems very linear algebra heavy. I'm a little worried about that, because I've actually never taken linear algebra. I'd like to pick up what I need as I go along, but I may find that the learning curve is tooo steep. Well, we'll see how it goes. I don't need this class - it's purely an interest, just so that I can have some background on parallel computing for when these problems will become more important.

It's also handy because it meets directly after my Computational Bio class, in the exact same room. It's a one-seat class experience.

What could you graduate with if you sat in the same chair every day (all day)?
