It's hard to believe, but we are now 4 weeks into our 12 week term (including Fresher's Week). As always with the start of term, it's been jam packed with teaching prep, getting undergraduate project selection sorted (which means lots of meetings with prospective students) and projects started.
Not as always, it has also been jam packed with taking a Coursera course on Bayesian Statistics. In PACLab, we're making increasing use of these to analyse data, so a bunch of us have all signed up and we've been running a study group on Wednesday afternoons. They've been quite good - the quizzes are useful for testing your knowledge and the videos are generally well explained. I've certainly got a better grasp on confidence intervals and credible intervals, and I'm looking forward to finishing it off. The study group has been particularly helpful: a good opportunity to get together and share our learning.
Also, PSAT (the Postural Sway Assessment Tool) is taking shape - literally. Or virtually - at least, we now have a working rig and user interface and a CAD model of the mounting systems. Parts have been ordered, and hopefully we will have our first build early next month.
All this (and, you know, actually delivering lectures and tutorials) means that I haven't had space for much else. However, next week, I'll be off to the next LUDI meeting in Malta, as we review guidelines for accessible play. Should be a good one: I'll let you know how I get on!
