I took two semesters Students of "Software Engineering" course, the continuation of the previous syllabus and contents, although the implementation of the project added to the development of links, but the process always kind of article topics and disarray, the feeling of difficulty assessment, teaching effects and the hearts of expectations gap. I want to make some changes in teaching methods and content of the course, but do not know how to proceed. Coincidentally see the course information on a circle of friends, saw the registration requirements, hesitated for a period of time (to struggle four days in the summer holidays, five of Ben me, determined not so easy ~ ~ ~), Finally, holding to challenge their own ideas, or signed up (a brave and wise decision). 7.25-7.28, close-round (exaggerated grammar) accepted the Northern School of Computer Science "software engineering" teaching training courses, experience very high levels of domestic universities on this course brings 10 years of continuous reform admiration the results, rewarding, too much content needs to slowly digest.
Course reference business expectations of students of software engineering skills (Zou Yan teacher as a senior expert in software engineering this have a clear understanding), efforts by implementing programs in order to achieve teaching objectives, develop or improve such programming ability of students, collaboration, communication skills, teamwork, summed up the software in the process of reflection iteration and so on. The curriculum into several stages, step by step, each stage has a smooth transition between the objectives, stages, divided into: personal projects, pair programming, team programming alpha stage, the beta stage of the programming team, summed up five stages. Each stage takes into account changes in demand, each class should have a result (impressive homework is not too negative points, this is a good way to estimate the water ever want to cry). Through these five stages of practical operation, this course I have a certain understanding, but it needs by its own specific implementation process slowly to understand, with the hope and Luo teacher Zou teacher exchanges (mainly need to consult a situation occurs ) will have a more profound understanding.
If the next semester Click to pilot methods, there are several aspects need to prepare in the summer:
- Each phase of the mission (taking into account the actual I school, the more clearly the better, otherwise the probability of large water out);
- Completion of task difficulty and workload balancing;
- Standardized scoring rules (may need to communicate and Academic Affairs);
- TA training and induction rules (hope after years of accumulation has a stable of assistant echelon);
- Select and use a variety of tools (git and garden blog can still be used, but not easy blade free, how funds solve?);
- Teaching Materials (unit price more than 50, "Building of the law" could only be recommended as the reference books)
- Whether training programs need to be revised? (Software Engineering is currently divided into two classes of theory and curriculum design, may need to be revised);
Rome was not built in a day, the Great Wall can not finish the day (too hot ~ ~ ~), hopes to practice a few times - to improve - and then practice, the effect of this teaching courses has increased steadily.
It was a pleasant experience, I've met a lot of like-minded teachers, nice Zou teacher also warmly invited us to visit the Microsoft Research (Microsoft Xiaobing telephone booth that is good fun, so what's the secret heart is said, need someone to listen may find her oh, just I do not know if you can choose Guo Degang sound ...), in which experience a daily legislature (it men who are wearing sneakers, because standing still tired it, ha ha ha).
Sorry to say, is that pair programming stage, did not complete the task, so do not come to that test, she does not know that there is no automated testing tools, you can watch make up. (Voice-over from embarrassing Thai taxi driver in Thailand: take your time ~ ~ ~)
Thanks again for Northern College of Computer, thank Luo, Zou teacher, Chou and you pretty handsome assistant ~~~
