1001WETTAL Languages and Machines

Teaching Assistant, University of Antwerp, Department of Computer Science, 2015

Professor Els Laenens hired me to create exercises and exam questions for the University of Antwerp’s course on regular languages and finite automata. These exercises and exam questions were mostly related to mechanical applications of algorithms that students would have to perform by hand. To ensure that the exercises would be appropriately challenging, I wrote a computer program that generated regular languages/finite automata. The exercise generator automatically assessed how much effort it would take to apply the algorithms specified by the exercises.

COMP 303 Software Design

Teaching Assistant, McGill University, School of Computer Science, 2020

I was a TA for the COMP 303 Software Design course at McGill. My main responsibilities were to both aid and grade groups of students that worked collaboratively on a set of design challenges.

ECSE 324 Computer Organization

Teaching Assistant, McGill University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2020

I designed and presided over ARMv7 assembly programming labs for the ECSE 324 Computer Organization course at McGill. I also ran demo sessions where I graded students based on their understanding of their work.

COMP 520 Compiler Design

Teaching Assistant, McGill University, School of Computer Science, 2021

During the Winter 2021 term, I TAed for the first time for COMP 520 Software Design. COMP 520 at McGill evaluated students entirely based on their coursework, which consisted of a sequence of assignments that eventually result in a complete compiler for a subset of the C programming language.

COMP 303 Software Design

Teaching Assistant, McGill University, School of Computer Science, 2021

I again TAed for COMP 303 Software Design during the Fall 2021 term. My main responsibilities were to aid and grade groups of students that worked collaboratively on a set of design challenges.

ECSE 324 Computer Organization

Teaching Assistant, McGill University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2022

During the Fall 2022 semester, I returned as a TA for ECSE 324 Computer Organization. My responsibilities were similar to the ones I had two years prior: I designed and taught labs and tutorials. I also presided over demo sessions where students presented their work and were graded based on that work.
