Lynda Thomas

Teaching Fellow - Department of Computer Science

I am a Senior Teaching Fellow at Aberystwyth University  .

The .gif  at the bottom of the page was produced by one of my students (Rick Errington) for the second year group project module. The picture on the right was taken at an event that I organised for second year students at Gregynog Hall in mid Wales.

Below I have a few links about teaching, research and personal stuff,

Teaching

You need to be an Aberystwyth Student to access notes, but recently I have mainly been teaching:

• Introduction to CS Theory,

• Introduction to Programming,
• Personal and Professional Development, and
• Software Development
• A quick intro for advanced MScs (this just consists of  loads of Java code -  but is out of date)

 I am also the Department's Academic Advisor - here is a link to our schemes and details on modules.

Research

Personal

I like to sing (and sing with the University's Choral Union) and am still trying to learn Welsh.

Until 1999 I was a professor at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Aberystwyth still has an exchange program with Carroll.

Here are a few sites that I find interesting and/or useful:

• UCAS Tariff calculator

• computer virus information
• free java book
• Java site
• papers about women and computing
• Aberystwyth UCU

• A Welsh Course
• Concert finder. Ways to find music.
• The Five Point Agenda by Starhawk

Links I use all the time (for me when I am travelling mostly :)

• Reading e-mail on web
• Power point presentations
• Java
