Since my last posting (808@psuvax.UUCP, Sunday Mar 4) announcing the
"temporary cessation" of the "Netwide AI and Mysticism" course from Penn
State, I have received lots of mail asking about my new position. The thought
struck, just AFTER firing that note netwards, that instead of saying
"I will be moving soon to another institution ...."
I SHOULD have said
"I will soon be LOOKING for another institution -- one which EXPLICITLY
encourages innovative approaches to learning, one which EXPLICITLY
appeals to highly self-motivated students. We shall try again!!"
That "new institution" might be a school or industrial research lab. I want
FIRST to leave behind at Penn State the beginnings of what someday could be
one of the finest AI (especially Cognitive Science and Machine Learning)
labs around. Then I'll start looking for a place more in tune with my
(somewhat unorthodox, by large state school standards) teaching and research
style.
To all who wrote with helpful comments, THANKS. And, if anybody knows of
such a "new institution", I'm WIDE OPEN to suggestions!!!
