Life update, a TA blog

It's been over a year and a half since I last posted! In that time I've defended my dissertation and begun a teaching-track position at Carnegie Mellon. I'm mostly focused on teaching the freshman/sophomore level Principles of Imperative Computation course. This semester I will have a bit of a change of pace teaching Foundations of Programming Languages, a course designed by Bob Harper and based on his book Practical Foundations of Programming Languages.

Some time ago Ron Garcia asked me if I would be blogging about my teaching here. I'd certainly like to, but thus far I haven't made the time. However, I'm pleased that one of my excellent and recurring Principles of Imperative Computation TAs, Nivedita Chopra, plans to blog about her experiences this semester. I'm excited to read along myself!
