Meet the instructors

We are very excited to teach you this spring! If you have logistical questions or concerns, please contact the course staff.

Instructors give course lectures, manage course staff, and oversee course policies.

Hi everyone! I'm Michael Ball. I was once a CS major at Berkeley, and an early employee of Gradescope. Outside of teaching, I work on educational technology and computer science curriculum development, accessibility and enjoy traveling and photography. Please stop by 'tea' hours to chat about CS, DS, college, or anything else on your mind!
