Abstract:
With the field of Computer Science and Software Engineering rapidly evolving, the need for undergraduate education in computing and programming has never been higher. A solid education for the introductory CS courses is not only important for Computer Science major students, but any engineering and even art and literature majors. In this talk, I will describe my teaching experience and interests in teaching computer science and software engineering undergraduate courses. It is particularly important to me that students understand the motivation behind each theory or technique, and apply them to hands-on practices. For programming courses, it is also my mission to establish the mindset for software correctness with the aid of automated testing with the students.
