Teaching

I currently serve as a Student Instructor and Teaching Assistant for the UNC Department of Computer Science. This page outlines my teaching experiences and acts as a repository for all of the teaching materials I have developed, including for courses at UNC, content on my YouTube channel, and elsewhere.

Instructor

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach undergraduate students at UNC! The following are courses I have served or will serve as an instructor for. This section includes information about these courses including the syllabus, what they taught, programming languages and tools they utilized, and materials developed for students.

Notes

For some of my courses at UNC, particulary math courses, I wrote detailed notes covering the content taught in these courses. Many of these notes have been written in LaTeX. Since I am no longer a student in these classes, I am posting these notes in this section so that they might benefit others!

Subject	Description
