If you're a CS educator or trainer who is interested in sharing teaching techniques or exploring pedagogical issues in a workshop setting, the OOPSLA "Killer Examples" workshop may be for you!

This year's workshop will focus on examples that expose bad practice and so lead to better appreciation of good practice, as obtained by following sound object-oriented principles and development practices.

The workshop is held on Sunday, October 25, the day BEFORE the OOPSLA Educators' Symposium. Attend both!

The workshop invites submissions of such examples. All participants in the workshop will constructively critique the examples and actively engage in refining them so that they support a clear and sound pedagogy.

While there is a formal application procedure to guarantee admission to the workshop, we do accept walk-ins if space permits and if the walk-ins are determined to have adequate interest and background in the workshop theme to be able to contribute positively to the discussions.

The deadline for submissions/applications is Tuesday September 8. Early submissions are encouraged. Decisions will be made before the OOPSLA early registration deadline.
