Biography

Norman currently teaches programming at 亚洲色吧, teaching mainly first-year programming courses in Python and Java.

With a passion for teaching, he is interested in how classroom response questions can be used to teach programming concepts effectively and overcome student misconceptions. He is interested in the various issues related to teaching and learning in computing and higher education, including but not limited to assessment practices and learning design. He is also interested in learning analytics, especially in investigating the insights that can be gained by applying data-mining techniques to student data.

Prior to joining 亚洲色吧, he spent the past nine years teaching in the local polytechnic sector. In that time, he taught mainly mathematics and physics but also had opportunities to teach C++ programming, introductory data mining and mechanics of materials. He had taught at various levels, from diploma students to adult learners. He was also an adjunct lecturer with the Singapore Institute of Technology. He is familiar with pedagogies such as problem-based learning, peer instruction and the flipped classroom.

He completed a PhD in computational materials science at the National University of Singapore in 2010, employing software tools to investigate the mechanical properties of Sn-based intermetallic compounds using density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulation.
