Teaching
I have been serving as a Graduate and (previously) Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for the past 4 semesters. I have worked on the following courses:
- CSCI 1111: Intro to Sofware Development (Spring '23, Spring '24)
- CSCI 2113: Software Engineering (Fall '22)
- CSCI 1112: Data Structures and Algorithms (Spring '22)
- CSCI 1012: Intro to Programming in Python (Fall + Spring '20, Fall '21)
Before this, I served as a Learning Assistant for CSCI 1012 for 2 semesters.
In Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, I am co-taught an original 1-credit elective with a fellow student, titled Internet Sociology. The course was a discussion-based seminar on contemporary critiques of Internet software design and architecture, with readings from scholars in the fields of computer science, philosophy, cognitive psychology, economics, and political science.
The syllabus can be viewed here.
