logically connected as part of a bigger system; redesigned the
final project, and saw great development work by students.
- Fall 2005: This is the first time I taught web development and
Java - my favorite; introduced Oracle JDeveloper and used it ever since.
- CIS2010 Introduction to Computer Information Systems
- Fall 2009/Spring 2010: my first time to
teaching 3 sections (in each semester). Introduced a set of Google
services (Google Docs, BlogSpot.com, Google Visualization, etc.) and
other Web 2.0 applications for student assignments and projects;
formally set up the
"Learning
from News" blog site; started a video collection for teaching
and shared them via YouTube.com; began to use SharePoint; began to
try virtual office hours.
- Summer 2008:
This is a night class in summer. To stimulate interest and energy, I
formally designed a student research and presentation project, with
presentations/discussions mixed with lectures. The class got very good feedback
from students. This is the class that both students and I enjoyed
most.
- Summer 2005:
started experimenting student research presentation mixed with my
lectures; also started to incorporate more exercises with
lectures.
- Fall 2004/Spring 2005: started IT related news analysis and
discussion in most of my class sessions; started to incorporate external materials into
course content, such as Gartner's Hype Cycle, Carr's "IT Doesn't
Matter", and more case studies.
- Summer 2004:
This is the first course of my teaching career. I followed a
template, so nothing was new.
