Student Mentoring

Mentor, CIT computer programming teams

Since 2013, I have mentored at least four CIT computer programming teams (total 12 students). I encouraged them to solve new problems, conducted lecture sessions, practice sessions, online contests, and on-site contests. One of the teams secured 5th position at the Gulf Programming Contest (GPC) in both 2015 and 2014. Two other teams secured 8th and 9th positions in GPC 2015.
