Hopefully, next year, I'll be able to spend my time updating and improving my slides (and doing some research, as currently my evenings and weekends are all taken up by lecture prep). | |

I love trying to figure out ways in which I can explain complex concepts simply, intuitively and efficiently. But I find that, if I want to prepare a lecture on a new topic with custom illustrations/animation that indeed showcases the intuition behind it, I need anywhere upwards of 3 full working days to prepare a 2h slide deck from scratch. However, my University actually allocates 1h30mins prep time for every hour of lectures. And what I could produce in 1h30mins would not be simple or intuitive. | |
