Introduction to Programming in C
Undergraduate (Freshmen) course, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, 2017
Taught about 120 freshmen the basics of programming using C language for lab practicals. Designed assignments and helped take the first step towards an online local evaluation portal for conducting assignments and tests.
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Undergraduate (Sophomore) Course, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, 2018
Took the lab for discussion of concepts as well as programming assignments for about 80 computer science sophomores. Created a set of programming assignments from the scratch, with the help of colleagues, including starter and supporting codes and proper README based instructions. Topics covered included search, logic and machine learning.
