📅 2024-03-18 — Session: Developed Academic Curriculum and Approval Framework
🕒 18:55–21:45
🏷️ Labels: Curriculum, Algorithms, Education, Approval Framework, Consultation Protocol
📂 Project: Teaching
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop and refine an academic curriculum for a course on algorithms and data structures, along with a framework for student approval and consultation protocols.
Key Activities
- Curriculum Design: A structured program was outlined, dividing the course into six units covering fundamental to advanced topics in algorithms, including practical exercises.
- Approval Framework: An updated proposal for the academic approval regime was created, detailing requirements for practicals, final exams, and direct promotion criteria.
- Exercise Description: Developed an exercise template called ‘Parejas de Baile’, which uses greedy algorithms to match pairs based on dance skills.
- Algorithm Development: Designed a greedy algorithm to maximize pairings based on similar skills in the ‘Parejas de Baile’ exercise.
- Consultation Protocol: Revised the student consultation protocol to improve the use of consultation platforms, including preparation and feedback processes.
Achievements
- Completed the curriculum framework and approval regime proposal.
- Created a detailed exercise and algorithm for practical application in the course.
- Enhanced student consultation protocol to support learning and problem-solving.
Pending Tasks
- Review and finalize the curriculum and approval framework with stakeholders.
- Pilot the ‘Parejas de Baile’ exercise and algorithm in a classroom setting to gather feedback.
