Length of session: 1 hour workshop, once a year
Participants: Undergraduate and postgraduate students of the module.
I designed and ran this workshop on neural networks. The students had to work through a worksheet I adapted from a previous year's workshop. The workshop instructed the students on how to use MatLab to perform experiments on two types on neural networks and asked them to perform these experiments, record their findings and answer questions that tested their understanding of the networks' behaviours. In the workshop session I provided support to the students when they needed it.
Length of session: 10 minutes (as part of a 1 hour group exercise)
Participants: 3 other LTHE classmates.
As part of the LTHE stage 2 microteaching exercise, I gave a short introductory lesson on Evolutionary Algorithms, a research field in Artificial Intelligence which uses ideas inspired by principles from natural evolution to search for problem solutions.
Length of session: 2 hours, twice a week for 10 weeks
Participants: Two classes of 40 first year BSc mathematics students.
I was a workshop assistant for a module introducing basic programming to first year Bsc mathematics students. Students worked through a worksheet which tested programming techniques learned in lectures. My role was to provide them with help when they needed it.
On one week students were asked to discus problem solutions in groups rather than program them. On this occasion my role was to help lead a class discussion of each solution once they had discussed it in their groups.
