Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Andrew Hamilton-Wright, I'm a researcher in machine learning
for human health and I teach courses having to do with software systems. In the first
year, if you're in the software engineering, you'll see me in the winter. I teach a course
having to do with building components of communicating and
cooperating people, and in the third year I teach courses about building components, 
building software systems rather than of components of cooperating pieces of software. What 
I wanted to talk to you about today though is your own experience and what it means to
be a student at University. So we constructed the University to
be a place where you can try new things. This is essentially what
it is for, so I'd encourage you to do that. Do that with your
electives, do that with student societies, meet people, learn new
skills, that's what it's all about. But one thing to keep in
mind, especially in the uncertain days we have now, with a
lot of online learning, is that the important thing that you need to
do is make sure you keep up enough that you know if there's a problem. If you're struggling,
reach out. We're here to help you, but we need to make sure
that you're not so far behind that there's no time left in the
term to make things work, so be sure to organize, be sure to
plan, get yourself a scheduler, put yourself together a
schedule. Your courses might be mostly online. In that case, the
schedule maybe, well, entirely up to you, so it is important
that you take charge of your own schedule, get yourself a good
plan, make sure that you're keeping up in each of your courses, make sure you're
communicating with us. We're here to help you. We want to see you
succeed. Thank you very much.
