In this interview with Kristin Stephens-Martinez, we discuss learning CS in large classes (e.g., 200+ students), the winding and challenging journey through education and research, recognizing the importance of representation and providing support for underrepresented identities, the benefits of peer instruction, Kristinโs podcast (CS-Ed Podcast), the disconnect between research on education and practice in the classroom, and much more.
Guest Bio
Kristin Stephens-Martinez is an Assistant Professor of the Practice at Duke University in the Computer Science Department. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Kristin's research lies at the intersection of education and computer science focusing on using data available in large classrooms. Her research goal is to find ways to allow class sizes to grow without affecting the quality of the learning. She created EECS Peers at Berkeley, a group dedicated to supporting fellow graduate students with grad school life. Kristin is also the host of The CS-Ed Podcast.
