Web students in room 124 at Sydneshaugen skole
I enjoy seminars. I like being able to talk with the students rather than to them, I like learning to know them as individuals and I like seeing them hunkering down together and getting stuff done. I really enjoy the discussions we get going as well.

Here’s “Seminar 1” in HUIN105, the course on web design and interpretation I’m teaching this spring. There are lots of students, because the course is open, which means we have a very lively group and unfortunately not quite as much space as would be ideal. This is half of the class: other half of the class will be in seminar 2 tomorrow, doing the same stuff as these students did today, and they’re also split into four tutorials. Oh, and then there are plenary lectures for everyone, once a week. The first one had a few technical problems, but good points as well 😉

    Jill,
    I’m just curious (nosy, so to say).

    What’s your course about?
    “Webdesign & interpretation” is quite a broad concept.

    Hm, I found the course-blog, but still, my knowledge of Norwegian isn’t what it should be… (hm)

    They look different from US students?

Språk er makt. Ikke la KI ta den makten fra deg.

Readers who don’t read Norwegian: sorry. This is in Norwegian because it is commenting on a current debate in Norwegian media. Asle Tojes debattinnlegg «får KI-alarmen til å gå,» skriver Petter Bae Brandtzæg, og jeg er enig. Toje sier riktignok nei, han har ikke brukt KI. Han «har kvitteringer,» skriver han, teksten tar […]

Debating AI with politicians at Samfundet

I spent Wednesday evening at the famous Studentersamfundet in Trondheim, debating AI with three Norwegian members of parliament, Karianne Tung, who is Norway’s Minister for Digitization, Simen Velle, a representative for FrP, and Hege Bae Nylund, a representative for Rødt. The debate was expertly led by Liva Flo. It’s always […]
