📅 2024-03-18 — Session: Developed Academic Curriculum and Approval Framework
🕒 18:55–21:45
🏷️ Labels: Algorithms, Education, Curriculum, Student Support
📂 Project: Teaching
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop and update academic content and protocols for a course on Algorithms and Data Structures, focusing on both curriculum design and student assessment methods.
Key Activities
- Curriculum Development: Designed a structured academic program divided into six units, covering fundamental to advanced topics in algorithms and data structures, including practical exercises for each unit.
- Approval Framework Update: Proposed a new framework for course approval and promotion, detailing requirements for practical exercises, final exams, and direct promotion criteria.
- Algorithm Exercise Design: Created the ‘Parejas de Baile’ exercise, which involves forming pairs using greedy algorithms to maximize pairings based on dance skills.
- Algorithm Description: Detailed a greedy algorithm for pairing dancers from two groups, aiming to maximize the number of pairs with similar skills.
- Student Consultation Protocol: Revised the protocol for student consultations to improve learning and problem-solving through structured feedback and preparation.
Achievements
- Successfully structured a comprehensive academic program and updated the approval framework.
- Developed a practical exercise and algorithm description for educational use.
- Enhanced student consultation protocols to better support learning.
Pending Tasks
- Further refinement of the academic program and approval framework based on feedback from stakeholders.
- Implementation and testing of the ‘Parejas de Baile’ exercise in a classroom setting.
