Teaching

Here are some classes I've helped teach:

• 6.00 (Fall 2007, Spring 2008), a CS course in Python for students with no programming experience.
• Being Productive With Emacs (IAP 2007), a primer on using and customizing Emacs. This class was sponsored by SIPB.
• 6.189 (IAP 2007), an introduction to parallel (multicore) programming using the PlayStation 3.
