At LTH, there is a tradition among the student guilds to honor the year’s best teacher and teaching assistant. First, the students nominate teachers and teaching assistants they like, and then the student council selects the best teacher and teaching assistant based on some criteria. This year it was me. Out of all the teachingContinue reading “Pedagogical Prize!”

Reflections on Webinars
It is always hard to know what good teaching is. I learned some tools for analyzing teaching in the course Teaching for Higher Education that I took. One assignment was to reflect upon our teaching, and I wrote about my webinars (see attached document below). One of the course teachers, Torgny Roxå, asked if heContinue reading “Reflections on Webinars”
New round of teaching
A new course that I teach started a few weeks ago. I will hold webinars like I have done before. I know that students appreciate them, but it is always a bit nervous the first time. I did not have to worry, though. The students came to the webinar and said that it was great! It makes meContinue reading “New round of teaching”
What a Week!
This week has, without a doubt, been one of my most productive weeks in a long time! I started the week with a lot of research, and the days just flew by. I plan to submit my work to a poster session in the BCI society later this year. I’m currently studying a setup for calibratingContinue reading “What a Week!”
Friday Seminar
Every Friday at our department, someone holds a short presentation about their research. This Friday, it was my turn. I talked about the experiments that I have done, the pipeline we have created from experiment design to data analysis, and what I’m currently doing with the BCI systems’ calibration. I was pleased with the presentation,Continue reading “Friday Seminar”
PhD Student representative
A few weeks ago, I was chosen as a Ph.D. student representative for the department board. I have had similar positions before, so I’m familiar with most tasks, but one thing that is new to me is to participate in interviews for new Ph.D. student candidates. I was nervous before the first interview, thinking about what IContinue reading “PhD Student representative”
Audiobooks
Ever since I learned to read, I have loved reading books. For quite a while, there was no end to my reading. Then came high school and university. During these years, I read almost no books at all. I spent all my days reading in school and doing homework, and when I was done withContinue reading “Audiobooks”
Daily Yoga
Exercise is good for you! Yeah, we have all heard that, but it is sometimes hard to take the time to do it. I have tried running for a while, but my knee started hurting, so I don’t do that anymore. Instead, I do yoga. I use the app Daily Yoga, which I LOVE! There areContinue reading “Daily Yoga”
Among Us
The Corona cases are increasing every day, and everyone is working from home. For many of my fellow Ph.D. students and me, life is starting to feel quite lonely. But a few days ago someone had the brilliant idea that we should play the game Among Us. It was so fun! And it made me realizeContinue reading “Among Us”
I Love Teaching!
Last week I wrote about the rollercoaster of emotions that I sometimes feel. I wrote that teaching is one of the best things about being a Ph.D. student, and that has never been more true than today! Today, the course’s headteacher and I got an email from a student stating how much they appreciated us as teachers.Continue reading “I Love Teaching!”
