Overview

Cody Farlow is an Assistant Educator in the School of Computing with a passion for student engagement. He works to create unique classroom experiences that enable students to embrace challenge and accept failure as a necessary stepping stone to success. He often uses both mastery-based learning and project-focused courses to emphasize learning soft and hard skills rather than simply completing a course. His lectures are often littered with rants about systems thinking and the phrase "computers are stupid."


Cody loves helping students and would love to see you during his office hours!
