First class day

28 Aug 2014

Hello to the start of my 5th year in college! The first class day is done and over, and overall it went pretty well. Got out early in 2 of the 3 classes today. My first class today was a classical civilizations class, Topography and Monuments of Ancient Rome to be exact. It’s a really small class, only 12 people, and as a liberal arts class, there will be a lot of reading…yay… We will also have a research paper and presentation, which I haven’t done for a few years, so that should be an interesting and fun experience. I also had my C++ language class, as well as Intro Into Computer Security. The Security class should be an interesting one since it’s being taught a bit differently. It’s kind of an online based class, but not self paced. All the lectures are pre-recorded and we’re suppose to watch them on our own, and the scheduled lecture times are more for questions and answers on the material.

Tomorrow I have 3D reconstruction and computer vision, algorithms, and Data visualization. I had mention in an earlier post that I had dropped visualization for comp. vision, but I’m still kind of undecided as to which I want to actually take. So, I’ll be attending both for the first few days till I make my official decision (of course, before add/drop ends). I’ve already started reading the textbook for comp. vision, and there’s a lot of matrix stuff that I need to refresh on.

Overall, this semester will consist of a lot of coding, but I guess that’s normal for a computer science major.

Until next time, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
