SUMMARY:Brown bag: Ali Erkan & Kyle Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Stealth Challenges of Teaching Computer Science at
	 the Undergraduate Level\nSpeaker: Ali Erkan & Kyle Wilson\nAbstract:
	 When interest in Computer Science is on the rise and key courses of the
	 major are over-enrolled\, our motivation to explore new and more
	 effective ways of teaching can understandably be diminished. On the
	 contrary\, this is in fact the best time for such explorations because
	 we have a chance to work with (and teach) very heterogeneous audiences.
	 In this talk\, we will outline some of the associated challenges
	 regarding undergraduate CS education and we will report on one
	 inspirational lesson from the field of Physics. We will also present a
	 few classroom-tested techniques that increase the accessibility of
	 complex ideas so that the fundamental ideas of our discipline
	 disseminate to larger and more diverse groups of learners.
