Kathi Fisler from Brown University discusses Brown’s undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) program, where they hired UTAs to specifically focus on finding ways to do just that in the classes they were embedded in. In this episode, we talk about the program, how she teaches socially responsible computing in her intro computer science (CS) classes, and how her goal is to get students to ask the right questions.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3ep11_critically_conscious_computing/Mon, 03 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3ep11_critically_conscious_computing/Episode Summary This episode features Amy Ko et al.’s online book Critically Conscious Computing: Methods for Secondary Education. We discuss with Amy what is in the book, who the book is for, and how educators can use the book in their own teaching. The book focuses on contextualizing the history of computer science and how that history shows that computing is not neutral. In addition, it provides unit sketches to help teachers bring in more design critical conscious discussion into how they teach CS that will hopefully help all of our students better understand how computing affects our world.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3ep10_primarily_undergraduate_institutions/Mon, 01 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3ep10_primarily_undergraduate_institutions/Episode Summary Join us in a conversation with Iris Howley from Williams College about Primarily Undergrad Institutions (PUIs). Where we talk about what a PUI is, the research and teaching expectations, what the interview cycle is like, and compare a PUI professor with a teaching track professor. The biggest takeaway from this episode is that PUIs exist, they don’t look like the school someone is getting their Ph.D. at, and they are an option post-graduation.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e9_peer_teaching/Mon, 06 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e9_peer_teaching/Episode Summary In this episode, Sarah Heckman from North Carolina State University and our host discuss the Peer Teaching Summit at SIGCSE Technical Symposium 2022. We cover what a peer teacher is, more commonly known as an undergraduate or graduate teaching assistant, and how they support student help-seeking. The summit brought together many people with peer teachers at their schools where they discussed what they can and cannot do, and how every school is unique.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e8_alliance_for_identity_inclusive_computing_education/Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e8_alliance_for_identity_inclusive_computing_education/Episode Summary AIICE stands for Alliance for Identity Inclusive Computing Education. It is an organization dedicated to “empowering the next generation of computer scientists by eliminating systemic barriers.” This episode is with Dr. Shaundra (Shani) B. Daily, Ph.D., the backbone director of the organization. We discuss how she and her Co-PI, Dr. Nicki Washington, Ph.D., and past podcast guest, wrote the grant that started it all, how we should stop trying to “fix” students, that we should instead focus on fixing the systems that “requires” “fixing” students, and about their 3C program, a professional development program that is part of trying to make systemic change.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e7_class_forums/Mon, 05 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e7_class_forums/Episode Summary In this episode, we talk with Amogh Mannekote, a Ph.D. student at the University of Florida. He and others analyzed class forum data from three very different classes and discovered that a lot of factors influence how students use the class forum, including the kind of class assignments, the accessibility of other sources of help, and how the instructor or TAs answer questions on the class forum. After doing this work, he also strongly believes that instructors should download and analyze their data or we should create more “out of the box” open-source tools that do this for instructors.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e6_teaching_support_staff_2/Mon, 03 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e6_teaching_support_staff_2/Episode Summary Here’s episode two of our two-part series on teaching associates! A teaching associate is a teaching support staff position here at Duke University. This episode is a conversation with Yesenia Velasco. We talk about how her role is different than Kate O’Hanlon from our last episode, reflect on how Duke did at its first attempt at such a position, and look towards the future of where such a position can go.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e5_teaching_support_staff_1/Mon, 01 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e5_teaching_support_staff_1/Teaching Associate, what’s that? In this two-part series’s first episode, we talk with Kate O’Hanlon, a teaching associate in the computer science department at Duke University. Teaching associates are department staff positions that support the large enrollment classes. We discuss the four primary teaching associate responsibilities: project manager, student outreach, developer, and instructor. In addition, we discuss the underlying goal when Duke created the position and the needed flexibility within the role.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode4/Mon, 06 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode4/Today’s episode is with Richard Ladner from AccessComputing and AccessCSforAll, Professor Emeritus from the University of Washington. Our discussion focuses on accessibility. How do we improve accessibility in our teaching? What do AccessComputing and AccessCSforAll do? And how do we be considerate of our students that are hard of hearing, blind, or have some other accessibility need? Edited by Michael Ball You can also download this episode directly. Transcript Kristin [00:10] Hello and welcome to the CSED Podcast, a podcast where we talk about teaching computer science with computer science educators.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode3/Mon, 04 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode3/In this episode, we talk with Michael Ball from the University of California, Berkeley. Our focus is on undergraduate teaching assistants (TAs), which Berkeley has a long history of. Michael goes into detail about what Berkeley TAs do, the TA hierarchy, and TA training. We learn about a small core group of students that make an undergraduate career out of being TA. Another question we focus on is advice to an institution that is just starting its TA program.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode2/Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode2/In part two of our episode series with Kevin Lin and Brett Wortzman from the University of Washington, we dig into the details of how they implement their alternative grading systems. Brett outlines their ESNU system that stands for exemplary, satisfactory, not yet and unaccessible, as well as the components of his grading system for his large CS1 course, and Kevin talks about his version from his CS2 and other data structures courses.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode1/Mon, 06 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode1/In a two-part episode series, we talk with Kevin Lin and Brett Wortzman from the University of Washington about alternative grading practices. In this episode, we focus on the purposes and goals of grading and discuss different types of grading systems. We dig into the philosophy of Kevin and Brett’s grading approach, how it can work in very large courses, and how to get buy-in from students on an unfamiliar system.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_teaser/Mon, 29 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_teaser/Hello, everyone! We are going to have a season 3! But we are going to try something new. Rather than six episodes released every few weeks, we are going on an irregular schedule. We’re picking a theme and running with it until we run out. This season’s theme is “What’s next?” where we focus on how we’ve rethought our teaching since covid-19. We’ve got a few episodes lined up and the goal is to release an episode on average every other month.
