Why I left CUCEI

Leave a comment

From Feb 2006 to Jun 2019, I went every “academic” week to CUCEI, first as student then as a teacher. My student run went from Feb 2006 to Dec 2011, and my teacher run from Feb 2011 to June 2019.

I loved going there every single time, there I met some wonderful people, including my wife and some of dearest friends, some that were my professors, then peers and eventually friends

I finally decided to left CUCEI because I live  10 min away from CUCEA and at least 40 min away from CUCEI; I loved teaching but going there was 160 min a week of my driving, so, for the time being I decided to just teach at CUCEA

How did I end up teaching workshop in systems programming?

This one is pretty weird.

When the old curriculum was still in place, my head of department called me and told me that this class, as I knew, was one of the most difficult, she believed the cause being teacher didn’t want to update the class syllabus( and with the new curriculum coming up there wasn’t a point of doing it then) and she wanted somebody young teaching the old things, taking a new approach to this particular class, thinking that might change the output.

I accepted the challenge and started teaching what I think for the students will be the 2nd most difficult class in their career.

I changed things from start, I was teaching taking an approach kind of like a product owner and PM. I will them the dates, let them decide when I will give them a little extra on old things they might forgotten or new things that could help them out and proceed to explain every single practice and theory. I started letting them know that an assembly was the final product and what is an assembly.

My approach worked, most of my students passed in my firsts semester teaching the class, but things went to the other side when that old curriculum started fading away.

My PhD 2/? DCA 1

In 2017 my then girlfriend(now wife) and I got the idea of starting a phd together, we had two options IT or administration…or one for  each sharing the same project but from different angles.

So We went to a talk about the phd in administration, it was just the 2 of us, the coordinator and his assistant( alumni of my wife and 2 years later student of mine).

The coordinador asked us about our thesis proposal, I give about regarding criptocurrencies and my wife said she didn’t have anything on her mind, but he seemed OK with that.

At the end, We didn’t applied because of the schedule, the PhD had a scholarship and the professors could decide to teach the entire class in a week, so it wasn’t possible for me to work at the same time, and my wife’s classes will be disrupted too much…even if we declined the scholarship the classes will be the same

My PhD 1/? ITESO

When I finished my master on 2k14, I thought that I will never continue my studies, I was so tired( 2 jobs, studying and 2 girlfriends-at different times of course), that I didn’t want to do it again.

Late 2017 I decided I could continue my studies with a phd on ITESO, because of the discount and scholarship offered by Oracle. I started all the protocolos but I faced the problem of a lack of phd in it or cs.

I tried that LACS become my thesis’ director but at the end it didn’t worked, I thought I will continue with JFHA as director but at the end, the object of study of my phd was removed from my grasp when I was moved to another team on Oracle, that was the moment when I decided to take a raincheck on my phd.
