The UCSC having a range of visiting lecturers from different backgrounds make UCSC an ideal destination for computing education amongst the students. While having visiting lecturers can add more practical exposure to the teaching process, having them can add in-depth expertise towards the learning experience.
With visiting lecturers, students are able to also experience different perspectives in regards to the same subject matter. Visiting lecturers are able to direct students to think from an international viewpoint, while a visiting lecturer might encourage students to think from a non-academic point of view – both of which are crucial in the highly globalized world today.
