After graduating from Carleton I found out that Concordia University in Montreal was starting a Masters program in Computer Science. Together with a friend from Ottawa, I applied — and we were both offered a full scholarship which even covered out of town living expenses… so we both went.
We were each also offered the opportunity to teach an undergrad course in computer science, which we accepted. I found the experience of teaching a Fortran language programming class to 50 undergrad commerce students very enjoyable even though it required a lot of work.
I was rated by the class as part of the University’s policy of student appraisals, and was happy to receive a pretty positive rating as teacher.
