Four AIML@K Students Appointed as TAs for the University-wide Programming Course UNIV 020

We are proud to announce that four students from AIML@K – Dayeon Shin, Sejun Park, Hyunsang Hwang, and Jaehyuk Lee – have been selected as Teaching Assistants (TAs) for Korea University’s university-wide introductory programming course “SW 프로그래밍의 기초 (Fundamentals of Software Programming)” in Spring 2026.

The course, UNIV 020 (renamed from previous year’s GECT002) introduces first-year undergraduates to the foundations of computational thinking and Python programming. Designed especially for students who are new to programming, the course helps students learn how to instruct computers through programs, set up and use Python, and use modern generative AI to support their programming efforts.

This section brings together students from a particularly diverse set of programs in Korea University, including all departments in the College of Science and the Business School as well as School of Smart Security and School of Smart Mobility. Serving this broad interdisciplinary classroom, our TAs will help students build confidence with core programming concepts, ranging from data input/output, strings, conditionals, and data structures to loops, functions, recursion, exception handling, modules, and libraries.

The appointment of our lab members to this foundational course highlights both their strong programming and mathematical backgrounds and AIML@K’s continued contribution to Korea University’s campus-wide efforts in software education and computational literacy.

Please join us in congratulating Dayeon, Sejun, Hyunsang, and Jaehyuk!
