My Life as a Code Professor
Reflecting on my teaching philosophy and experiences, I see teaching and learning as a Software Development Process.
In this process, I am the senior developer, mentoring my students, the junior developers, through a project I have worked on before. The knowledge and skills they need to learn are the programming languages and frameworks, which they must master to complete the project.
The bugs are the challenges and difficulties that my students encounter. However, with my guidance and their motivation to succeed, they will fix these bugs, gaining valuable experience and learning from each one.
The modules represent their mastery and organization of knowledge. Each module is a piece of knowledge or a skill my students acquire and hone. They add more modules as they progress, gradually building a robust system of comprehensive understanding and capability.
The code review reflects the self-direction and self-awareness of my students. They assess their code, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and improve their programming skills.
The hands-on activities and real-world examples I incorporate into my teaching are like the practical tasks and real-world requirements, providing my students with opportunities to apply their programming languages and frameworks to refine their skills (problem-solving and critical thinking).
In this software development process, the ultimate goal is to finish the project and become skilled developers who have mastered their skills and are ready to work on their own projects.
