Session Goal

The session aimed to design and implement a topological sorting algorithm to address dependency issues in computer systems and to develop criteria for evaluating student exams on algorithms.

Key Activities

  • Designed an algorithm for topological sorting using Kahn’s algorithm to solve dependency problems in computer systems.
  • Developed specific performance criteria for evaluating student responses in algorithm exams, focusing on demonstration, explanation, and coding.
  • Evaluated student responses on algorithm and graph topics, highlighting areas of understanding and deficiencies.
  • Conducted detailed analysis of student responses, assessing comprehension, correctness, clarity, and use of concepts.

Achievements

  • Successfully designed and presented a topological sorting algorithm with implementation in pseudocode.
  • Established a framework for evaluating algorithm exams with a detailed scoring system.
  • Completed evaluations of multiple student responses, providing insights into their understanding and areas for improvement.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine the evaluation criteria based on feedback from student assessments.
  • Implement the topological sorting algorithm in a programming language for practical application.
