Bonus- Office Hours - Montreal

You can do a lot of things knowing programming with math.

And CS majors will tell you, most of it is math, and you have to take very hard math courses.

So- To be a computer scientist, you have to know math.

Yes.

To be a technologist, you don’t.

Right, but so, in a lot of high school classes, you could incorporate, kind of programming skills, into the physics as well.

Yeah, so and I would agree with you.

I don’t really mean to say I have twelve classes I’m going to require every single high school student to take just cuz they’re in my field.

So it’s okay, they might just take two or three and they still might have a chemistry class that’s coming.

They took half the chemistry class away and added a general computer class to it.

The big picture has to do with the fact that, let’s imagine what’s possible to teach a 13 to 17 year old student.

And teach them stuff they retain, rather than filtering notes.

Hi I’m Katya and yeah, I took both classes and they were great.

So thank you for teaching them.

Hello, My name is Karl Heins, I’m a web architect and learning some more stuff.

Cool.

I am Servi and I’m doing PC at McGill and I’m planning to go.

PC at McGill what?

Network sources.

Oh.

The network sources so that’s why I’m like here to learn cuz like I’ll be using the softwares.

Sort of write on the assessment tools and I’ll be using Python for that.

Cool.

One of the smartest people I ever met, a computer scientist from McGill.

Hi, I’m Brenny and I’m enjoying the Python course.

Hey.

I’m John Batiste, I’m a visual effect artist, and thank you Dr. Chuck for helping me get a better artist knowing Python.

Sure thing.

Hi.

I’m Igual.

I have a recently incorporated tech company here in Montreal.

And I’ll be taking it again this summer.

Thanks so much.

Thanks.

Hi, I’m Sergio, I’m an aviation analyst at AKO and I’m just, I feel wonderful about Python.

It’s completely opened some gates for me.

So thank you.

Great.

Hi my name is Tim Archurin and I am taking Python for informatics and thank you, Chuck for this great experience.

Hi, my name is Olga.

This is my first course with Coursera and I’m really happy and I hope it help me find a job.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

Hi, I’m Steve.

I’m taking both the History of Internet and the Python course and I’m having a great time with both of them.

Hi I’m Nancy, and thank you Dr. Check on behalf of the L.A.

chapter of Women Who Code.

And I’m Flora Mentufar and I’m learning Python.

The second, well it’s really the first language that I learned seriously, and I’m really enjoying it.

And I’m really enjoying how you set up the class.

It’s really, really helpful.

It’s great to have you in the class.

Thank you.

Hi, I’m Joanna, and I’m taking the Python course.

It’s my first language, and it’s been great.

Hi, I’m Ramona.

And I’m taking the Internet History course, and I plan to take the Python course in summer.

Okay.

Hi, my name is Pierre.

I’ve done the Python course and I want to proceed on with other Coursera courses.

My name’s Matt.

I’m an IT administrator, and I’ve been learning Python for a couple of years now, and it’s really helped in everything I do.

So, thanks Dr. Chuck.

Thank you.

Hi my name’s Habib and I’m taking Python with Dr. Chuck.

Hi I’m Domida I’m a student at McGill University so I’m a beginner.

So it was very interesting today.

Great.

We had so many people at Office Hours, that the management came and kicked us out of, The lobby and forced us to have this room where we had to buy hors d’oeuvres.

So, signing off from another successful Office Hours this time from Montreal.

Cheers.
