AE04: Introduction to Programming | MSE | Sem IV - 2025
First time teaching anything officially. this was a proper crash course in what “teaching” actually means. I initially used to think prep = knowing the content by heart, but turns out that’s only half the job. The other half is figuring out how to present it — lesson flow, structure, and how to guide someone’s thought process. Took me a failed first session to realize that.This is what introduced me to the concept of a lesson plan. I Also got to design colorful notes and resources, which I loved making. I’ve linked some of them under Materials.
Best Part: I got to take Attendance (for the tutorials) - marking (p) or (a) and signing off on that sheet - felt surreal 🤩 (For any experienced teachers or profs reading this: yes, it might seem silly. But for a first-timer like me, it really did feel special.)
PYTHON:
PYTHON:
Covered fundamentals and economic modelling using the QuantEcon framework ; things like Solow Growth Model, Quantity Theory of Money, and Monte Carlo Simulations. Co-taught sessions with Riya Ji, and we designed content, built practice sets, and spent hours on hands-on doubt clearing. The best part was seeing people who were scared to code get the hang of logic and syntax.
MATLAB:
MATLAB:
First time learning it myself, and simultaneously explaining it. Introduced 60+ students to core programming ideas using economic applications — OLS regression, recursive loan calculations, time series. Focused on simplifying the concepts and building some kind of logic flow so that it didn’t feel overwhelming. Also created structured resources to support that.

This programme was special from the start. For the first time, Riya Ji and I had complete ownership- we got to design everything from scratch: the structure, pace, attendance rules, grading system, and even the overall energy of the course
All of this was possible only because Dr.Srikanth B Pai trusted us enough to hand us the reins.
We designed weekly tutorials, created structured assessments & set up a support system. I got to grade papers for the first time...and with that came both excitement and a strange sense of responsibility. It’s different when you know your correction affects someone’s progress. It taught me what it meant to be fair, consistent, and fully present...And how mentally exhausting correcting 50+ papers can get :/ (Made me appreciate the efforts of my Gurus 🫡)
We hosted everything through the TECO Discord server & Google Classroom - our ecosystem for materials,announcements, discussions and doubts.
Best Part: The feedback that came in was thoughtful, kind, and deeply encouraging...not just praise, but useful suggestions too, many of which we actually incorporated.Knowing even a few people found value in what we built made the whole thing feel worth it - Starfish logic ⭐️
This was new for both of us...we learnt Julia together and taught it in a two-week fast-track format, open to students who already had basic Python exposure.
Julia, feels like Python and MATLAB had a child which is Super fast, clean, and elegant. And best thing ? you can use emojis as variable names (which made me like it 10x more).
Students earned official certification via Julia Academy.
This course ran for 4+1 weeks and was inspired by MIT’s OpenCourseWare Python lectures. We did weekly tutorials, short quizzes, MCQs etc. The goal was to make logic stick, not just syntax. This was open to BA24 and BA23 batches.The structure was similar to the Srikanth Sir's AEO4 course & tutorial sessions.
Being a fully online one, we introduced little incentives like brownie points to keep engagement up...and it worked. People actually tried answering, discussing, and participating.
