Student-Faculty Interaction

Incorporate time in each lesson for students to deliberately practice concepts and puzzle out problems to ensure your students are effectively learning.

If you refer to sample people to explain concepts (such as Eve the Eavesdropper), select names and personas that are diverse in gender, race, and nationality or are gender-, race-, and nationality-neutral

Select analogies and examples of content that are as gender-, class-, and nationality-neutral as possible to avoid alienating and further confusing students of different backgrounds.

Explain what counts as CS to help students realize that they are learning CS.

Move to students' eye-level to connect with students as equals.

Re-introduce yourself to students to minimize the imbalance in power.

Stay positive and regularly reassure students that you have confidence in their abilities.

Use Piazza to provide an anonymous Q&A forum where both students and instructors can answer questions.

Share your own experiences and struggles, and embrace any mistakes you make.

Listen to students' experiences to learn how you can create a supportive environment.
