Description

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.
