Hannes Herrmann discusses the middle ground of quantum computing: how the field is progressing, and why it's useful (if it can be made to work), but why we shouldn't expect a revolution.
Arlen Brower and David Cooper talk about how to get novice coders to appreciate the value of testing their code.
Arlen Brower and David Cooper discuss how and why we often use games in programming assignments, and what can go wrong.
Antoni Liang and David Cooper talk about what happens when units (courses) are too easy, too hard, and just right.
Arlen Brower and David Cooper discuss #programminglanguages, and why they're all great and terrible.
Siavash Khaksar, Hannes Herrmann and David Cooper discuss how the #union (specifically the #NTEU) makes a difference to the functioning of #academia and the quality of education.
Nimalika Fernando and David Cooper talk about how to learn during a test.
Arlen Brower and David Cooper talk about the integrity of coding assignments, or lack thereof, given the power of generative AI.
Hannes Herrmann and David Cooper talk about organising final-year undergrad computing projects.
In episode 1 of The Rough Compute (as Dave grapples with his rudimentary AV knowledge), we ask how performing live coding demos in lectures can help, and how it can be done.
In The Rough Compute, we lean on the wisdom, passion and cynicism of computing academics to understand how we can _better_ understand the discipline that has overtaken the world.
