The first course that I am a Teaching Assistant to

Introduction to Computer Science and Software engineering

This course serves as an introduction to the field of computer science. Traditionally, the first few courses in the computer science curriculum have focused exclusively on computer programming, without introducing students to the areas of application they may expect to participate in as professionals. This course is designed to introduce the field while reinforcing the importance of programming. Programming assignments will primarily be done in JavaScript and HTML, which are the principal programming languages used for producing pages for the World Wide Web.
