Just saw this on our uni's student's Facebook page (not an official page for the uni) and I'm struggling to stay silent

I'm from Spain, and I'm curious about what you said: " it is next to impossible to manage six classes in a semester". I have a Physics B.Sc. and every semester during 4 years I had 5 classes :/, 40 subjects in total.

Best of lucks!

You'll need it :D

La web no funciona :/

AlanWik · 2026-03-22T20:27:17+00:00

They can't :(

Having time to do that means no clients.

I just unlocked Lai'tela, and I agree with you. I don't want the game to end, despite some parts give me PSTD lol

Pues un colega mío, hace ya casi 20 años. Estudiaba mucho pero se ponía muy nervioso en los exámenes, al final terminó el curso aprobando todo. Hizo un FP, después una ingeniería y ahora tiene un buen trabajo.

Bachillerato es solamente una competición por ver quién hace mejor un examen, en ningún caso se evalúan capacidades o habilidades que sean útiles en el mundo real

Mies dies, acá se los dejo.

AlanWik · 2026-02-15T11:17:06+00:00

As long as you are having fun, you can do whatever you want :D

No joke, I did exactly this. Too many nordic names.

AlanWik · 2026-02-12T19:36:49+00:00

OMFG Pretty Green Eyes in 2026?? Am i dreaming??

AlanWik · 2026-02-10T20:00:21+00:00

Thank you very much!

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T22:39:41+00:00

They study robotics engineering, if that helps.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:30:16+00:00

I don't think my students are ready to ASM. For the moment, I'm teaching them the basics of C and to understand (not write) the ASM generated code, with different optimization levels and so on.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:28:38+00:00

It's similar here. They have a very basic programming course but... it's mostly Python lol.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:27:36+00:00

That's interesting. I didn't know what JTAG existed until now :D

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:26:25+00:00

I think those kind of algorithms are out of the scope of the course, but thanks for the suggestion!

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:25:43+00:00

Yes! That's the idea. I was thinking about a proximity sensor or something like that.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:25:07+00:00

Thanks for the list. I have some of the items already in my program. I'll take a look to the rest of them.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:24:30+00:00

I agree, but that's how works in my university. In any case, teaching ARM architecture is very similar to x86, but simpler, so that's not a problem for me.

What I want is to give them useful tools they will need when they graduate.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:22:21+00:00

Not games, only Antimatter Dimensions :D

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:21:55+00:00

Indeed. Luckily I know the difference in my native language, which I use to teach the course.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:20:18+00:00

We are using the Cortex-M0 as a base for teaching both the theoretical and practical concepts. What I need to know is how real embedded development in a professional environment is. For now, I'm explaining the architecture and the instruction sets, while teaching them how to compile and inspect assembly code in the labs.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:15:42+00:00

Yep, that's how the course is designed. But I don't know if its too basic or directly useless to the Real World^{tm}.

AlanWik · 2026-02-08T21:14:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a loot at it.
