TEACHING / MENTORING
All courses, in general, have to come to include a case study/student project component. This includes an individual paper (about 5 pages typically) and a class presentation. It is very important that computer science students gain experience and confidence from doing class presentations.
Teaching a Seminar in Human and Machine Problem Solving at the Graduate Center, Fall, 2004.
This course with 8 PhD students, was a delight to teach and it is an area I have a genuine interest and background in. Again, students were encouraged to submit papers to conferences which most students did, although I haven’t heard the outcomes of their submissions. Students made presentations of papers that every student in the class was asked to read prior to class meetings. I hope to teach this course again as full course (not just 1 credit seminar for students) in the near future, with a joint appeal to Cognitive Psychology and Computer Science students.
.
E-commerce: CIS 3.2 / BUS 31.5: Arts of Democracy version. Globalized Perspective. Fall, 2004, Winter, 2005.
This course, continues to be very popular, attracting equal numbers of CS and Business majors (between 20 and 25 in total). Again, students develop individual projects and do case studies. They do a considerable amount of writing between homeworks (about 5), case studies and group projects. I enjoy teaching both theoretical and practical aspects of e-commerce, management, entrepreneurship, etc. Of course the 3 week Winter Term version of this course was very grueling, but students (and I) also had some fun.
Introduction to Software Engineering, CIS 30.1, Spring, 2005.
I Introduced CIS 30.1, Introduction to Software Engineering, in Fall, 2003. This semester there were 10 students in the course, and I think that the time of the class (during lunch) had a lot to do with a “mixed” attendance. We covered most of the first 15 chapters of a standard contemporary textbook now in its 6th edition (by Pressman). Students presented fairly interesting individual case studies but their group projects (3 groups of 3 students, one has an incomplete in the course) proved to be somewhat disappointing. I think this was mainly due to a late start by students in deciding on their project topics, poor communication between them, and poor judgment on the part of students in the amount of work necessary to complete their group projects
Programming Languages: CIS 24.1, Spring 2005.
Mainly the course covered 4 programming
