You Can't Understand It Until You Feel It

Teaching computer science is an ever-evolving practice, and with the explosion of large language models that can source information in the blink of an eye, Anil Ada knows he doesn't have all the answers. Ada, an associate teaching professor at Carnegie Mellon University, helms one of the core courses for first-year students in the School of Computer Science. He ensures students walk away with the reasoning and communication skills needed to advance, and some special memories, too.
