Current Classes

The following are classes that I am currently teaching (Spring 2017):

CSCE-314 Programming Languages

This course is about how programs written in high-level programming languages are executed. This includes topics such as parsing, internal program representations, type checking, and interpreting. Students will learn about implementation approaches of common abstraction mechanisms and modern programming language constructs. The course explores use of the functional programming approach to design and implement programs. And also, contrastingly, the main features of modern object-oriented languages. Though we use and study two specific programming languages, Haskell and Java, learning more of these languages should be considered as a side benefit of the course, not the main goal.

CSCE-482 Senior Capstone Design

The course is project-based, focusing on skills for system integration in order to solve real-world problems in computer science. It involves a significant team software project that integrates advanced concepts across computer science specializations, requiring the whole process from design, implementation, documentation and demonstration, as well as establishing a design methodology, management process and team management. Emphasis is placed upon student's activities as design professionals.

Past Classes

The following are classes that I taught previously here at Texas A&M:

Improving teaching at Texas A&M

Recently I was involved in an ad hoc subcommittee of the CSE's advisory committee in order to help outline a method for peer teaching evaluation. As part of this, I attended the CTE's interesting event on peer teaching evaluation (23-March-2012), including the seminary delivered by Nancy Chism (Professor Emeritus, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) and the follow-up sections thereafter.

I also joined and participated in several of the the NSF TUES Proposal learning communities.
