Zoom Audio Transcript

Okay. morning everyone. Happy Thursday everybody. I remember, so this for the first time, Canada qualified for the World Cup, so that happens every four years. That was 36 years ago I remember. And so. Now they're in the top on top position in the qualifying group and so these are the last three games. Of the qualifying so they will tonight, they can. they're guaranteed a spot in the World Cup so. that's that's big news. And the. star. We seem to be the star player, I mean there are many players have done well, but one of them is will be sitting out because of my own car diagnosis from Kobe. Okay, so take a minute to. Simon stuff. Okay, so just to be clear. Just not starting a cake choose one from this list choose differently than other people, you know in class if your name is on the list. The list below. means you shared your blog energy with the class. So the original intent was one critiques two to three weeks three. Is 143 on the list critiques one. So if you haven't. If he started a critique on a different blog than what I think. Is the next one that's fine. proceed with it. And if you didn't submit it to the class blog. it's just you can pick one from the list. So. This, to me, is a lot. better solution than mailing. blogs. That you didn't share. Other students. So it's good so we're only in critiquing blogs that are in the public space, not in the public space in the class space in your courses. So. I think that's clear. Anyone not clear. This is.
Okay.
web page. Before death and like. The MAC users familiar with the spinning beach ball. Sir, like the blue screen of death on PC. anyway. So we'll get started out today. it's great to have. So project proposals, so I expect. Those you re submitted a proposal okay marks posted today. But I also sent a note with the general feedback, but the proposals so. keep working on your proposals. But that feedback and I and not people getting your projects was that general feedback in mind. Okay. So the questions so there's two parts, the critique. So your evaluation to blog entry, according to the rubric. For the blog entry assignment. So that's where. The questions come from. Where the headings come from so. You can think of the first part is saying. This is how i'm how I would mark. assign a great blog entry, based on the rubric we have. For the blog entry. And then. In the critique. You just generally talking about. Whether how well the argument was made. I should uptake.
Why.
anyway.
i'm just like for the website assessment you want this to answer the questions and that said, or do you want us like to play like a paragraph or like a little mini essay.
about the website assignment in a second again. So this is the rubric for the critique so what mark for using this for marks one of the marks is for evaluating according to the rubric So how are you in market. And then marks for doing a critique of. So what I did in my sample is. I. provided an outline. So the outline. could be expanded upon. could be written. more thoroughly. that's your question soundness.
So we can really see the stuff songwriting towards the end in the zoom.
and it's i'm not doing anything that's not. In the assignment description. But i'll i'll talk about it. where's mine. I can see what.
It looks like.
So format concerned the questions listed in the assignment region, the main groups sections on the website. So for. The assignment I I did a number of the one through eight. And then. The five questions which I didn't number. This is content valuable to you, is it up to date. Is it accessible i'm paraphrasing a little bit here, but I mean the questions in the assignment. Is the content usable. is in the right location. So those are the questions to answer, but each of the. Groups numbered one through eight above. So in addition to going through for each of the sections. include a summary.
For.
Your impressions of. The whole website. So I would say. To make things clearer, you can. use these questions as headings, as you go through each section of the website. Each of the site each of the main link areas. That like. make it a little bit more easy to. fill in the details. Okay. So welcome any questions. or concerns. Yes. So i'm suggesting. Including. The questions is sub headings in the report. To make it more. More clear. So Marshall had a question about. Just answering the questions or. Writing some paragraphs creature, the main sections of the main links. So I don't want to discourage you from summarizing each of the sections in the main links. I was just suggesting. In addition to list the questions as. A way to. Help organizing material. and You could. summarize. What you what you found for this particular sections, following your answers to the questions. I don't want to be too prescriptive and. How, you should wrap this up, but. I wanted to give you a little bit. More. structure to help you get organized. Okay. Is a story on CBC and some other outlets. Oh i'll share with you soon as I get my latest computer problems, so that. So in round numbers I think it's a little bit higher than this.
The 20%.
So. Somebody saying. Even even if 20% of your staff doesn't quit immediately. it's quite something to think about 20% one in five people in the office really resenting the fact, they have to be in the office. What would that would do from around. So i'd like to. Take. Time to have a discussion about. What you see the future is and how. Our technology. The risks and rewards of. i've been working violence. Okay, so. i'm going to. So some breakout rooms. Up to sex. And you can choose your own rules. So if you're in. If you're in person and you'd like.
To come.
To discuss with people in class that's fine. Otherwise, if you're in groups one or seven. Go to breakout Room one. two and eight three and. nine four and five and 11 and six and 12 good together. Okay. Not to discourage you from speaking. It sound like a microphone turned on there. Okay here's the breakout rooms so.
yeah.
Those.
People.You shop.Much.On your.left side feeling.versus.
or. The shower.
It was.
Really transportation. Savings to where they are our staff is. here. data.
Center.
yeah i'm sure. There is now, it could be. even nicer you.
know.This one's there.
needs. To be better to do. A video where. it's like this. Like. Yes, like. Choosing switch turns out.
So it's a.I think probably news.For.Most of the words.
She nor. did not know when you have.
The power.
Lies must.
be helpful for.us.
yeah.
yeah.hey.
made sense it's like. it's like the whole thing. it's like. Is the thing is to call this or you could just.
Say referral.
Or should I just feel like you're saying.
Give.
away something they're not the exact.
Title feature.
Like.
You.know.
You are using best.
Company look like computers, no.No, no, no.
No, no, yes, yes yeah so if you're saying. When you're.
Also in.
yeah it was Saturday Sunday Sunday. LIFE I was. Nothing. Like unless it's even even still like there's still a discussion. yeah let's see. let's.
See what's.
Your. name.
Some.
interesting. Facts on online. or. In your lifetime. Please because.
I feel it's just.
messing around yeah.
But.person.
yeah. yeah whatever. it's like here but. it's like a reverse. Racism email if somebody knows will be. The actress.
what's that price that's.Like more people offer this.
Everybody yeah.
Just have.
It has to be that we.
Can.
Work that's Nice.
yeah good student.
significance of stage. one. I guess.
I guess it's kind of people who are all.application.Your job, where you.Actually.
Because it. Is a.
factor.
Right just yeah.
Yes.
No.
yeah.
The.
last five.years.
Once.
Again, as.
I feel like.
yeah.
Okay, so how we wrap up discussions next minute and then we'll get together in a bit longer. yeah The thing is. yeah.
To.see that.Just.
minus four. Get back together and. So anything come up anything you'd like to share with the whole class yeah find the overall hybrid this isn't a bad idea, so say for like a single parents should have to raise a child, so that they could stay at home and also take care of the kid at the same time, but that was so. Good lose kind of some work with that. But i'd say that. By having a hybrid you can lose a lot of. Essential time that could be due to distractions found at home, rather than being in an office space, which will have less distractions like thank. between work and home life. becomes more blurred you know we kind of have this. And you're online you're kind of still. kind of way you can still go to work because you're just at home, so, even if you were in person and then Now you can just be hybrid. If you're saying what is going to be the boundary of your boss Oh, I can code or even like coughs being like okay well, you could actually just take a break today or should you just keep working out. yeah. So the classes. Over the. main thing is to not be contagious. or spread germs to people when you come in contact with. But on the other hand, it's still not acknowledging need to rest and. recuperate. OK so. Now, another point we discuss about was people if people choose to work in person, they still have to be sort of online is their co workers working from home. Even the Office, you have to take zoom calls and team calls and you are sort of on a computer or day rather than actually being that the getting the actual in person experience now. So maybe in that case, if there's. A group in the office and they agreed to come into work on one particular day a week or something like that. That late. In that regard.
You wrote. Work home boundaries blurred, but it also does help achieve a better work life balance, I think.
I agree that's. Did you say that the hybrid worker engine is better for work life balance.
yeah yeah.
Is once you're in the office, maybe.
The boss.
wants you to stick around and do something. it's hard to.
I have people that struggle with anxiety and depression. tend to self isolate and without being forced to go into work area where they're socializing with people might social might solve isolate even more could lead to higher levels of depression and suicide.
So.
More comments.
No.
No, no it's time thanks for speaking up. So introverted people, maybe happy to be remote but. They may overtime lose connection with. With the Group of the office or friends in general yeah other work.
In my partner came up with was the possibility of saving with.
Transportation like of gas, instead of having to drive to the office.
Yet.
So around the budget. Environmental angle to this because there's still a climate emergency going on. There they were just going on. Yes, I go like the transportation savings healthy play, but for the company they might have more costs if you have people working for all, and you now need to provide them with computer are in that if you need a certain level, and they need a certain level data that. The company's infrastructure budget might be greatly increased. So this was an. I came to face to face but yesterday I was explaining. In class before I got connected to zoom that. Yes, let me do this attendance I said don't do it after the fact. So it's a 24th today. So there is our password those you can see it open chat as well. So the experience. Yesterday, so we're doing the computer science students seminars, we have the first one plan for yesterday and I got into the room and I went through my checklist that i've. got down pat here, for example, so I thought I was going to be just fine with in setup but. It turned out that zoom is not a very. Happy it's not happy playing with other parts of the infrastructure. So the recommendation is to restart the computer in the classroom before again just to make sure there's nothing. hanging around it shouldn't be. So now i've learned to do that and that's what I did this morning. But anything there's a lot of a lot of issues in terms of. And I wonder about to support the amount of time and effort and hours and costs and. mean. What kind of contracted is assumed that they have the storage requirements. And the staff to do make sure that zoom is working properly for the institution. So there's lots of aspects that are that are. are important to consider. Any other comments from zoom or the class here. So Kenya. I know we're.
mostly talking about hybrid work but um one great advantage that we. Especially have specifically in Regina here is the opportunity to work remotely for bigger companies in bigger cities which it greatly increased wages and different things like that, like obviously it isn't really related to the hybrid is more remote. But, specifically in the computer science industry, I don't know if anybody has looked online recently, but there are lots of opportunities for remote positions at great companies in large cities for developers in other areas of computer science.
Okay, thanks that's. Important that started telecommunication. Meeting. So maybe it's made telecommuting. More more acceptable. So one thing I wanted to mention about zoom in class is when I did the breakout rooms. So there are something like let's use around numbers, the 60 students online. Now. Then getting the pictures, I thought I did. But. Of 6020. weren't didn't join a breakout or. So it was interesting to know some of the six groups, a couple of them had zero people in the one had 13. So it was interesting. So not that i'm. Trying to keep tabs on people. But that's another way that we could keep tabs on people, because they have a. footprint, so you may login to the class. And then go do something else so it's hard to know whether you're actually there, but then. When there's an interactive element. And you miss the chance to go to the breakout room. that's the that sticks out a little bit online. So i'm not trying to. i'm not trying to create a discussion about how to work around that problem. So, it appears that you're well. The more than more than we have a footprint can be tracked and. or or efforts in our output. monitored. So that possibility exists, I think. So I see we're out of time. So let's continue this discussion in class on Tuesday, have a good weekend. And i'll get my links to share today online soon and. So you can respond again. thanks again everyone, thank you. Take care buddy have a good weekend.
Ah, Sir, will you be available at your office hour to be.
Yes.
Oh.
Well, you available as well. I to see it as well for the office hours.
So then. And then i'll be.
Changing.
Welcome
Sir, I actually did the entire class, but like couldn't.
Okay, oh. Just. Okay. Alright, so i'm going to. Close this and the next class. Here, ready to go.

Responses

The most important thing that I encountered:

the most important thing that I learned was the limitation of hybrid that how the in person interactions have changed from being lively to the fear of COVID-19
The various point of view regarding hybrid work place
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have thought that having to go into a place of work where it was not absolutely necessary was a silly thing to do, and the reason for doing so was to keep middle management employed and realty afloat. Upon hearing my contemporaries theories on what the risks of hybrid work environments were, I have bolstered my previous opinion.
Hybrid work environments are not bad but they have any risks
In today's class we have discuss that work for home it is good or not. There are many answers for this question and according to me it is good because it increase the opportunities. If a person is living in Regina he or she can work for company which is located in Toronto. Specially it can save some money because their is lot more rent and other expanses than Toronto.
Today I learned about the benefits and costs of work places moving online. There is actually a lot of benefits I didn't realize. I hadn't thought much of telecommuting but I it seems like it could be really profitable to look into coding jobs in Vancouver online.
Today we discussed how the Hybrid work environment impacts our lives. I believe a Hybrid work environment is a good solution for any emergency situation but the office environment ensures employee interaction and time management.
Hybrid isn't a bad idea, but may erode work ethic. Hybrid is better for balancing the work and life. Remote is more convenient, and will also be helpful for mental health.
I liked our discussion about the risks and rewards about a hybrid work/school environment. The benefits of a hybrid culture include: employee’s freedom to choose remote/in-person depending on family situation, environment friendly, economic advantages, healthy work-life balance and time-efficient. The risks are: evasion of work-ethic, in-person experience limited due to hybrid, company infrastructure budget greatly increased, local business getting affected due to stay-at-home job.
The most important thing i learned was discussing working from home and the pros and cons of a hybrid model
Having hybrid work or hybrid classes have both benefits and disadvantages. It really depends on the individual and their personality.
Today's breakout discussion helped me realize how hybrid learning has both a downside and plus points. I liked how the class came up with all their possible explanation and understandings about the key concepts.
Assignments
Hybrid is better for work life balance
In my opinion, companies will implement hybrid working has its risks and benefits. One advantage is that it allows people to work from anywhere they choose and saves time on travel. Adapting to a hybrid working environment will need a significant amount of effort initially, but it will be well worth it. On the other hand, the disadvantage that I could think of is cyber security. Companies will need to constantly secure their digital footprint through software and two or multi-factor authentication.
In today's class, the professor explained and gave more info about the critique of the blog entry. In the main discussion today, there was an interesting topic about the hybrid work environment. In my opinion, some number of people working online from home can have good benefits. The requirement for large office premises is greatly decreased when fewer workers come into the office each day.
I found it very interesting to hear all of the drawbacks about continuing to work from home or having a hybrid work environment. I couldn't think of any myself, so it was very interesting to see and hear so many other perspectives that I hadn't considered before.
We discussed about advantages and disadvantages of remote working. In my opinion, remote working has much more advantages. I think if I work from home, I can use my time effectively and save money.
Today, we talked about the risk and rewards of hybrid class. It was interesting to know that some prefer online than in person. I prefer in person because I cannot concentrate online because of distraction at home. Although, advantages of online is it saves you transportation and time which is nice too.
I learned that hybrid/remote work save money for the employers and the employees
By having hybrid work schedule, companies need to be able to organize who comes in on which days of the weeks. As well, people would most likely be sharing desks because there would be no need for everyone to have their own. That brings up the need for separate lock up filling cabinets/locked safes in each cubicle/desk to keep confidential information inaccessible if sharing desks
Based on our discussion today about hybrid classes, I believe the main rewards are flexibility, saves money, and time. Because for me, I have a hybrid cs115 class and being able to attend online lectures has been a life-saver, since it has increased my productivity and engagement with the topics. However, I do think a risk is missing out on campus and less socializing has taken a toll on my mental health too, but its not bad. Hence, hybrid is really useful for education and work opportunities.
I learnt that there may are many pros and cons to implementing a hybrid model into our work post-covid. These positives and negatives vary depending on if it's for school or for work. For instance, learning remotely makes it more accessible to people living farther away from school. On the other hand, this might also lower a student's motivation to study if their preferred learning style is to be surrounded by their peers. Learning remotely might also allow a student to balance work and life a bit easier.
We learned more about how to work on the blog critique assignments and web-assessment assignment. Further, we also discussed about the risks and rewards of hybrid/remote work. Hybrid not a bad idea, but may erode work ethic, and lead to blurred work/home boundaries but it does help in achieving better work/life balance. Hybrid is cost efficient for employees as they can save on transportation costs.
Today we discussed about the risk & rewards of hybrid (in-person/remote) and we discussed that hybrid isn't a bad idea but it may limit the in-person experience but the main advantage of hybrid is for the people who work as they can attend the class at their convenience and the disadvantage of being remote is it may affect social life and might affect education as you might not be able to concentrate on your studies as you will be at home. The advantage of remote is it may save your transportation fees.
Getting to know the risks and rewards of hybrid/remote classes. Risks would be students would procrastinate a lot and rewards would be students could study at their own pace if the lectures are recorded. Hybrid isn't a bad idea but it erodes work ethic.
I learned the advantages/disadvantages of hybrid work and study. Hybrid work has a few disadvantages like increased infrastructure costs incurred by the company from providing extra working materials to employees who work from home; Mental health risk associated, individuals who are introverted find it difficult to communicate to people and this could lead to higher depression/suicides. Although, it has some negatives, I believe the positives outweigh the negatives. For example, there is opportunity for the
In today's class, prof has discussed about bog critique submission and web assessment which is group project related. Later on we has a breakout session for discussion that mandates for working form office? As 20% employees quit immediately if they were made to be in office every work day.
In todays lecture professor provided the information about the web assessment. He told to answer the questions listed in the description of assignment. We also discussed in the class about mandating the work from office. So, for that we checked the survey of 20% employees said that they will quit if they need to work from office. So, now we looked at the option that should it be hybrid or not. In the breakout room we discussed what are risk and reward of working becomes hybrid(i.e. from home or office).
Todays lecture gave me a broad knowledge about critique as i was so confused regarding it and also the discussion was so engaging. Thank you for that .
We talked about the risks and rewards associated with hybrid system for working. We considered both in person and remote workings, and analyzed their pros and corns carefully. One biggest drawback of remote working is that it can probably disturb work-life balance. In person working would help in developing more collaborative and team-working spirit. We can save some money while working remotely as we don't have to spend money for transportation, and that is good for environment too.
Different people will have different preferences. Some people might work better in remote while some might work better in-person.
Talked about the blog submission and critique and also how to answer the questions given in the CS280 website. Also, we went through the grading scheme. Discussed about the working from home and in-person as well as hybrid in the breakout room.
As in today's lecture we discussed about risks and rewards of hybrid, which we are facing since Covid-19 started. Some struggled with their work, other side some struggle with their study from home and when all are used to do either study or work from home they are struggling go back to in person.
I'm working remote full time and it has been great so far. However, I miss the workplace's vibe and I'm ready to go in person. Hybrid working is not a bad idea at all, I wish company can allow employee to work 2-3 days at the office and 1-2 days remotely. I'll help creating a balanced working environment
Today we discussed how the on-site experience is limited due to the need to collaborate with remote locations. Hybrid systems are more conducive to work/life balance, remote work is also beneficial for mental health, transportation savings - budget, environment
Hybrid workspaces, are likely the way of the future. Especially for those of us in computer science! While hybrid work is definitely a double edged sword, I really believe that it can be truly beneficial. It does make sense that the work-life balance line is being blurred and many extroverts may have trouble motivating themselves in these circumstances. I still feel the good outweigh the negative. Not having to commute everyday is a major time saver and working from the comfortability of your home is great
Today explanation was given on website assessment. The discussions were held on how effective is the hybrid system of working? Are people satisfied with it or it requires changes . Breakout rooms were appointed to discuss the same.
Working from home can have some benefits and some drawbacks.
Today, meeting started with a warm welcome from professor Hepting. After that we discussed about what is there in the news, such as about 'mandates for working from office?'. At the end professor made breakout rooms and we all discussed about 'what are the risks and rewards of hybrid in-person/remote?'. And at the attend there was attendance.
reward of hybrid is people get more chance to take class with long distance from campus, risk is chance to cheat in exam
Hybrid might erode focus on work tasks
I learned that hybrid work arrangements are probably the best path forward. They allow the best way to maximize the benefits of both in-person and remote work while also limiting the downsides. There are still risks involved, of course, however those risks can be mitigated.
The most important thing I have learned is about the pros and cons of Hybrid and office working and studying. Hybrid is not a bad idea, but it could cause some ethical issues for work or school. In-person experience is more time-consuming and does not provide many opportunities for people. While hybrid can let people from two different destinations work together.
It was interesting to discuss the pros and cons of hybrid learning and what aspects of which are preferred over others.
the risk for in person is the time is not flexible, but it will be better for teacher to teach. For remote session, i may easier for student to cheat

The most difficult thing for me to understand:

Hybird working for business and employees: By working from home, companies can reduce the amount of money they spend on leasing, renovating and maintaining office space. employees no longer need to waste time commuting to and from work and Increased their work flexibility

The thing about which I would most like to know more:

Today we discussed about critique and about the hybrid meetings which is better either it is better or the other method is better than this one
if hybrid workplaces are the new normal, what about places that are implenting a 4 day work week, could a hybrid apporch harm human interactions
What is the actual evidence on work ethic and work/life balance with respect to working from home? My anecdotal experience suggests people work more from home, since there is no clear separation between work/life.
The thing that I would most like to know about from today's lecture is the hybrid/ remote job opportunities in bigger cities such as Vancouver and Toronto that was mentioned by another student. Because we also discussed the pros and cons of hybrid work I think that these remote job opportunities will be a great way to get started in the industry and get some experience over the summer.
How a 4 day work week will improve life.
More about today’s breakout discussion
The class was very impressive initially the prof told us how to compose blog critique entries and were given instructions on how to begin working on the website assessment project also the marks for the project proposal will be updated today. I just wanted to know more about the final exam.
I would like to know more about how people are finding hybrid work. Hearing that 20% of employees do not want to go back to the office really surprised me. I would like to know more about what actual workers like and dislike about remote vs in-person working.
I would like to know more about the hybrid life/work balance and the statistics on what people think on it
I’d like to get better insight on the kind of sway employees as a majority have on employers
Early days and I have learned a lot on how to utilize internet for improving better risk management systems. However, the rest of what I have worked on today depended more on how the past lectures were. I have tried, in my project proposal, to describe more about how the importance of social media has created varied understanding and misbelief in the mind set on many people. Owing to today’s lecture, I have got a new point to research more on my project. Knowing this, I would discuss it in my project.
Today I researched more about mandates and i discussed it with my self why would people love to sit at home and do their work but not going to office regularly i believe going to office is a better option it keeps us in work environment and can be really helpful.
Is work from home a better option than working in person?
the thing about which I would most like to know more is the Risk and Reward in the Information Society
I would like to know more about how being online has impacted jobs, businesses, employers and workers.
The thing I would like to know more will be today about hybrid office/home in breakout room and class we discussed about life/work balance and communication and how effects done to work ethic and time and moneysaving and mental health is helpful in remote class and valid suggestions from students
I want to know more about blog critique and groups.
