You're Doing It Wrong

Dan Garcia (UC Berkeley MS 1995, PhD 2000) is a
Teaching Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science department at UC Berkeley. Selected as an ACM
Distinguished Educator in 2012 and ACM Distinguished Speaker in
2019, he has won all four of the department's computer science
teaching awards, and holds the record for the highest teaching
effectiveness ratings in the history of several of the
department's courses.


He is a national leader in the "CSforALL" and "A's for All (as
time and interest allow)" movements, bringing engaging computer
science to students normally underrepresented in the field, and
supporting them to achieve proficiency. Thanks to four National
Science Foundation grants, the "Beauty and Joy of Computing
(BJC)" non-majors course he co-developed has been shared with
over 1,000 high school teachers! He is delighted to regularly
have more than 50% female enrollment in BJC, with a high mark of
63% in the Spring of 2018, shattering the record at UC Berkeley
for an intro computing course, and is among the highest in the
nation! He is humbled by the national exposure he and the course
have received in the New York Times, PBS NewsHour, NPR's All
Things Considered, USA Today, and the front pages of the San Jose
Mercury News and San Francisco Chronicle.
