📂 Project: Teaching
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to analyze and clarify various graph theory algorithms and educational evaluation methods, focusing on Johnson’s algorithm, verification of shortest paths, and computational complexity evaluation.
Key Activities
- Algorithm Analysis: Discussed Johnson’s algorithm, which combines Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra, for finding shortest paths in weighted graphs. Explored the educational implications and verification methods for shortest paths using algorithms like Floyd-Warshall and BFS.
- Educational Evaluation: Reviewed student responses in computational complexity, identifying issues in understanding and justification. Provided feedback on distinguishing between ‘clique’ and ‘dominant set’ in graph theory.
- Student Guidance: Analyzed student NO 106’s response on NP-hardness, emphasizing the need for clear justification in graph transformations and polynomial time reductions.
Achievements
- Clarified the application and verification of graph algorithms in educational contexts.
- Provided detailed feedback on student evaluations and responses, improving understanding of computational complexity.
- Enhanced student guidance on graph theory concepts, particularly in distinguishing between cliques and dominant sets.
Pending Tasks
- Further exploration of student misconceptions in computational complexity and graph theory to refine educational strategies.
