Hello.

My hobbies and passion are in programming, history, philosophy, and culture, just to name a few. This is my website to publish posts for the world to read. Occasionally I have programming projects, which you can check out on my GitHub. If you have questions or want to come into contact with me for any other reason, you are welcome to do so.
Other than that, this is my professional frontpage with some of the things I have done, professionally and academically.

Tutoring at Noroff

People with digital competence and creativity are in extraordinary high demand. Many of today’s jobs will disappear, and far too few job applicants have the knowledge and skills to cover the industry’s current and future needs. People’s skill sets need to be developed, and education is the solution. Noroff is the premier academic institution in the Nordics for IT, both at university and vocational level. In my time there, I have seen that there were many capable teachers and students. To that end, I was hired as a vocational school teacher at Noroff. Course lead for Linux and introductory course. I created a new Linux course, as it required modernisation and a better pedagogic experience for the students.

The educational Linux course

During my tenure as tutor at Noroff vocational online school, I was tasked by my team leader to recreate the Linux course – part of the Network and System Administration program – in order to modernise it; make it more digestible for students. The course I inherited, and went through myself as a student, was getting crusty.

After close to eleven months of continuous work, I managed to create a five-week-long course, for full-time studies, that consisted of purely original:

  • Written and video lectures
  • Technical demonstration videos
  • Lesson tasks and quizzes
  • Test questions (automatic grading)
  • Exam questions (short essay answers)

Students were highly satisfied with the end result, and my team leader approved of the work. By the end of the course, the students should be capable of running most Linux distributions at an intermediate level; based on an intuitive understanding of the system, not rout memorisation.

Testimonials

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Maxwell Jensen, an exceptional educator who has made a positive impact on our Network and IT Security Administration program. Maxwell joined Noroff as a student in 2021, where he distinguished himself through dedication and excellence, earning his Professional Degree in Network and System Administration.

Under Maxwell’s leadership, the Linux course has become a favourite among students, praised for its clarity, relevance, and accessibility. His ability to distil complex concepts into engaging, student-friendly lessons reflects both his technical mastery and his commitment to pedagogical excellence.

Line Manager

I started studying Network and System Administration through Noroff in January 2023, where I had the pleasure of meeting Maxwell Jensen. His dedication, patience, and deep understanding of both the students and course material have been truly inspiring.

I have had the privilege of being guided by him through academic standards and the complexities of the Linux software space, which many students find challenging. His support has been invaluable not only to me but to my classmates as well, many of whom would have ultimately struggled or even failed without his guidance.

Maxwell’s commitment to high standards is something that has stood out to all of us, and his passion for helping others has been a refreshing and much-needed change in the IT field. I can proudly and with a clear conscience say that Maxwell Jensen has positively transformed how many students perceive IT, allowing us to dive deeper into Linux and the field of IT as a whole.
