Teaching Experience

Queen's University

In addition to the course responsibilities listed below, while at Queen's I have authored or co-authored two graduate level and one undergraduate level textbooks (listed under "Books" and "Chapters in Books" below). I am the co-author of the programming language Turing, which has been used in all first year undergraduate computing courses at Queen's, York and the University of Toronto as well as in 60% of Ontario secondary schools. I have been deeply involved in the design and implementation of three generations of secondary school and introductory undergraduate computing curricula at the University of Toronto and Queen's University over the past 25 years.
