My CS50 Section Slides

June 30, 2016

Fall of 2015 introduced the whirlwind that is Harvard’s CS50 to Yale, quickly becoming “the most popular course in Yale College.” Providing a strong support network, particularly one spearheaded by other students, is one of the key pedagogical backbones of the course. At Yale, this took the shape of a team of 29 students hosting nightly question and debugging sessions, weekly 90-minute teaching sections, and a slew of other activities like a hackathon and the CS50 Fair.

I’ve compiled all of my personal teaching slides from the Fall 2015 semester below.
