    S4xE7: Case Study: Peer Instruction

    In this episode, we got to continue talking to Dr. Beth Simon about peer instruction from the prior episode's peer instruction Teaching Practice Byte. Our host, Kristin Stephens-Martinez, shares her experience with peer instruction and asks Beth for help to improve. The episode ends with three main takeaways that Kristin has since used in her course.

    S4xE6: Peer Instruction (Teaching Practice Byte)

    Peer instruction is a way to move the easy-to-learn content to before lecture, so you can spend more time during lecture on developing understanding. In this teaching practice byte, we talk to Dr. Beth Simon from UC San Diego about peer instruction, what context she's used it in, how she does it, and nuanced details that aren't always discussed when reading about this active learning technique.

    S4xE5: Parson's Problems

    In this episode, we have Dr. Barbara Ericson, assistant professor from the School of Information at the University of Michigan. Our topic is Parson's Problems, which are like mixed-up code chunks that students need to put in the correct places. We discuss the research behind them, how she uses them in her class, and her current work investigating how to use Parson's Problems to improve student learning.

    S4xE4: Teaching Practice Byte: Coding Tutor

    Philip Guo, an Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego, built Python Tutor, which is neither just for Python nor really a tutor. It's actually a tool to visualize what code is doing! In today's episode, he talks about the other programming languages it supports (Java, C, and C++), gives examples of how he uses it, and explains the nuances of when to use it.

    S4xE3: What is in a Teaching Faculty Job Title?

    In this episode, we talk with Professor Adam Blank, Teaching Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech. Our conversation focuses on college teaching faculty that only have a master's degree by discussing how the job title should be about a person's skills and knowledge, as opposed to the degrees they hold. We start off by defining terms, then move on to what a teaching faculty actually does and needs to know to do the job and how a Ph.D. is a proxy for signals that could be seen with different evidence.

    S4xE2: Physical Models of Java (Teaching Practice Byte)

    Teaching Practice Byte (TPB): In our first TPB episode we invite Colleen Lewis back to the podcast to talk about her physical models of Java that help her teach students how Java objects work. Colleen was originally on our podcast way back in Season one! We go into detail about what kinds of classes she uses these models in, what the models are, how she uses them, where they would and would not work, and where the idea came from.

    S4xE1: Academic Misconduct

    We are kicking off season 4 with a deep conversation on academic misconduct with Dr. Oluwakemi Ola from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver Canada, and Dr. Mia Minnes from the University of California, San Diego. This episode was inspired from a panel we were on at the 2023 SIGCSE Technical Symposium called "Who's Cheating Whom: Changing the Narrative Around Academic Misconduct." In this episode, we go into more detail as we discuss how academic misconduct is handled at our respective institutions, how it impacts us, how our thinking about misconduct has changed over time, what we do to teach our students about misconduct, and how the systems around us influence our and the students' decisions around misconduct.
