In this course, students will learn and apply evidence-based practices in university teaching of computer science. Topics include principles of instructional design, active learning techniques, and assessment of student learning. While based on foundations in the literature, this is a practical course where students will design course materials, give a teaching demonstration, and reflect on the teaching of others. Students will develop a practice of reflecting on their own teaching, and learn to create a compelling, personal Statement of Teaching Philosophy.

Suitable for computer science graduate students interested in an academic career that includes teaching, and who would like to both be effective and enjoy their teaching.
