Introduction to Programming 1 (CS1)
Spring 2016, Summer 2016, Fall 2016, Spring 2017, Summer 2017, Fall 2017
Worked with the Professor and other TA’s to help teach and improve students’ performance. I created course material such as lab documents, active learning class activities, programming assignments, and tests. Each semester, I also ran one or two of the lab section(s), assisted with group activities during the active-learning type lecture, and sometimes hosted additional workshops outside of class with other TA’s for student test-prep.
