My Philosophy in Teaching

Computer science, like many other disciplines, was founded on and continues to grow by finding solutions to real problems. Due to the complex nature of computer hardware and programming techniques, solving problems with computers is rarely a simple process. Solutions must be designed and coded with a certain precision. Typically, students must be taught how to engage in this kind of problem solving.Although I have a particular solution in mind, I often let the students drive the progression of a lecture. Rather than tell the students the solution I have in mind, I ask them, “What should we try first?” We try some approach, see how it fares, and proceed based on that feedback.

In General, I try to keep three questions in mind while I am Teaching:

“Am I being clear and concise?”

“Am I engaging the students in problem solving?”

“Is my approach working?”
