Welcome! My name is Jule Schatz (she/her) pronounced you-la shots.  I love teaching and mentoring students in introductory computer science. My goal is to help every student feel welcomed, capable, and supported in their exploration of the field.

I enjoy being active! My current favorite activity is boxing. Just hitting a bag though, no people!

Teaching

I started teaching computer science as an undergrad student in 2015 and have loved it ever since!

I've taught in C++, C, python, and Java covering many topics including introductory computer science (loops, if-statements, functions, ect.), data structures, systems, and artificial intelligence. 

Spring 2025 I am teaching CS 340

For students and fellow instructors I have created a blog of some of my advice and thoughts on teaching related topics!

Research

My PhD research was about how to program computers to think like people.
