Teaching
I have been deeply involved in computer science education, fulfilling a variety of roles that span from hands-on teaching to course administration. This experience, aggregating to approximately five years of full-time teaching, has not only honed my pedagogical skills but also enriched my understanding of the subject at an advanced level.
My teaching portfolio spans foundational to advanced computer science topics. I've crafted and delivered programming courses across multiple languages. Moreover, I've instructed on data structures and time complexity—crucial elements for effective program design and algorithmic insight.
One of the more challenging yet rewarding subjects I've had the opportunity to teach is advanced algorithms, including the intricacies of NP-Completeness. This area, requires a balance of formal mathematical teaching and accessible, engaging explanation. My aim has always been to demystify these concepts, making them approachable for students and inspiring them to further explore theoretical computer science.
My approach to teaching programming is rooted in practical application, ensuring that students not only learn the buzzwords but also understand how to apply them effectively on real-world problems.
Beyond the classroom, my responsibilities extended to course management. I was involved in the planning and execution of curricula. My role also included the construction and correction of exams, a task that demanded a thorough understanding of the subject and a fair, objective approach to evaluation.
In reflection, my time spent teaching and administering computer science courses has been an enriching chapter of my career. It has been a privilege to contribute to the academic and personal growth of my students. I look forward to continuing to support people in their growth.
