Session Goal
The primary goal of this session was to develop and refine materials for an Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures course, focusing on syllabus creation, teaching plans, and exercise design.
Key Activities
- PDF Data Extraction: Initiated the extraction of course and degree information from a PDF to identify relevant materials for the course.
- Content Overview: Reviewed the content of a PDF related to Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures, identifying exercises on backtracking and computational problems.
- Syllabus Drafting: Created a detailed 13-week syllabus for the course, covering essential topics and assignments.
- Week 7 Teaching Plan: Developed a comprehensive teaching plan for Week 7, focusing on Computational Geometry, including theory, exercises, and lab sessions.
- Exercise Design: Structured exercises for Week 7 on Convex Hull, Line Segment Intersection, and Geometric Search.
- Session 4 Exercises: Detailed breakdown of exercises ‘Suma de Elementos’ and ‘Selección de Actividades’, including algorithm explanations and hands-on practice.
Achievements
- Successfully drafted a structured syllabus and teaching plans for the course.
- Designed comprehensive exercises to enhance practical skills in computational geometry.
Pending Tasks
- Finalize the extraction of course and degree information from the PDF.
- Review and refine the Week 7 teaching plan and exercises based on feedback.
