Teaching Summary and Philosophy

I try to make computer science an enjoyable subject, while addressing the challenges, methods, and underlying complexities of problem solving. I prefer to emphasize the major "nuts and bolts" issues and methods which pervade a subject. I like to present and deal with the big picture, realizing that sometimes details must be addressed, but am determined not to get bogged down by them unless they are necessary for understanding.

In general, I would divide the world of educators, scholars, and researchers into perfectionists and “productionists”. I am concerned with EDUCATING so that students can learn, understand, solve problems, be motivated and get things done. I know and respect the work that goes into producing perfection. I also know many perfectionists who never finish what they set out to do. Given the choice, I would prefer to be more productive even knowing that my work is not perfect.

My teaching philosophy has been developed from a perspective which was impressed upon me early on by my late father: " There are no poor students, only poor teachers". Although, I can safely say that my experience has not confirmed this point of view, it has served as a starting point and stimulus towards always striving for real excellence.

The young mind of the typical college student is a fragile entity with potential that you can turn on or off. I view my job as the instructor for a computer science course as the primary perpetrator of interest and thinking at the appropriate level for the subject matter and beyond.

For example, at the introductory level, teaching large classes, on the use of applications and elementary programming on a personal computer, I feel that a "promotional" attitude is essential. That is, I promote the main features of a programming language or application; addressing the questions: "What is the language/application intended for and what can students satisfactorily get done for their needs?" Essential, specific, syntactic, developmental, and conceptual issues are also discussed. For introductory programming courses the issues of structured programming and problem solving, combined with those in the previous sentence are considered of critical importance.

During the past few years I have made the adjustment to a breadth-first approach to teaching the introductory computer science course which combines topics like hardware, software, programming languages, and algorithms.

For intermediate level courses such as data structures and algorithms more complex programming methodologies, problems, and issues are the focus with consideration for time-space efficiency tradeoffs. By this point students are expected to be more experimental and research-oriented in their thinking. In advanced courses like artificial intelligence (AI) the breadth and diversity of the discipline is stressed; the problems which distinguish AI from other disciplines and other approaches in computer science are considered; the methodologies, tools, and languages employed in AI research are also presented. Finally, but not at all in the least, at this point students are encouraged to pursue term projects which involve programming and research on a topic area of their choice, culminating in a substantial paper and class presentation.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are focused in three areas: intelligent tutoring systems, experimental cognitive science/computer chess, and technological mishaps. These domains involve more specific problems in a number of areas including problem solving, knowledge-based systems, human-computer interaction, expert systems, natural language processing and the management of interdisciplinary teams. Recently I have recognized that a pervading theme which ties all my research interests together is testing of performance, evaluation of existing, missing and essential knowledge for competence, and suggested remedies. In other words, how to prevent ERROR(s) --- their origins and sources.

Intelligent tutoring systems is a broad domain with the general goal of improving education. As such it touches upon a number of different disciplines including computer science, education, psychology, and beyond. For the past three years I have been the project coordinator for a research team trying to develop an intelligent tutoring system for AIDS. Our approach is based on an educational technique called concept mapping. Thus far we have developed our knowledge base for AIDS as well five other STDs. These are in the form that we call a "SmartBook" developed in hypercard. Our AIDS SmartBook© was directly linked to an expert module which consisted of an expert system developed in the expert systems shell MacSmarts. The expert system was able to interrogate the learner and refer him/her directly back to the SmartBook for further information. Other research work in this area exploits a number of different AI aspects of our system involving various ways of interrogating the knowledge base via the expert module, the student modeller and tutoring module.

A "Rules of the Road" SmartBook for navigation of the seas has been developed with cadets at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. A number of cadets used this SmartBook in preparation for exams in their navigation course. The concept of SmartBooks is being developed as a generic methodology "SmartTutor" where we are adding tutoring support for CIS 1.5, the introductory course.

I have also worked in a number of different research areas in experimental cognitive science using computer chess as an application domain, both as an academic researcher and as a consultant. My interest has always been focused on the knowledge-based approach and its necessity for successful problem solving in chess as opposed to brute force methods. This was demonstrated in the Bratko-Kopec Test, a set of 24 positions which has been used by computer chess researchers around the world to evaluate the strength of their programs. As the time when computer chess programs will supersede even the best human players draws near, my publication Test, Evaluate and Improve Your Chess: a knowledge-based approach (with Hal Terrie) is based on a taxonomy of 157 test positions (in six tests) intended to demonstrate that there is still a knowledge-based problem space in chess which will remain beyond the realm of the best computer programs for many years.

Computers are pervading nearly every aspect of human life. Their use in complex systems and the real possibility of disastrous accidents (especially where human error may be involved) must be addressed. In 1982, I co-authored a report with Professor Donald Michie, (former Chief Scientist and founder of the Turing Institute in Glasgow, Scotland) for the Commission of the European Communities entitled: Mismatch Between Machine Representations and Human Concepts: dangers and remedies. (1982). The various forms of computer malfunction and accidents involving computers and complex systems are considered in two papers: (1)Technology Transfer Crises in the 1980s: mishaps at the human interface; (2) Societal and Technological Problems of Computers (with Q. Jiang). Presently this is my area of primary area of research

Professional Accomplishments in the domain of Chess

I have been an active chess semi-professional since the age of 21, having learned the game at age 8, and having participated in tournaments with adults since age 12. I achieved the title of International Chess Master in 1985, and maintained a rank amongst the top 50 players in the U.S. for many years. I have numerous chess titles, tournament victories, popular and scholarly articles and books, as well as extensive experience as a chess teacher at all levels, and as an organizer. During the Summer of 1994 I expanded my chess activities by starting KOPEC's CHESS CAMP (10 days) and by completing two 2-hour instructional chess videos: How to Visualize Combinations and Pawn Structures and How to Play Them . In 1995 I also produced the tapes: "How To Analyze A Position" (2 hrs) and "Opening Pawn Structures: advanced concepts (4 hrs) with Right Angle Productions of Putnam, Connecticut. In 1998 I produced the 2.5 hour tape The Kopec System with GMVideo of Twickingham, England..
