Teaching Seminar: Teaching Demo Using Dynamic Memory Allocation and Vectors

Abstract: This seminar uses a lecture on dynamic memory allocation and vectors from C++ as a way to demonstrate my teaching style and some of the ways I look to convey information to students. After the sample lecture there will be a discussion around some of the pedagogical approaches taken in the lecture as well as some that are used outside of the lecture to help reinforce the topic. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop to join in for a coding activity that will take place during the live lecture.
