Guang Shang Level 14 software engineering: Teaching Assistant Summary

The second time to the Canton business children's shoes as a teaching assistant, with the last time to do teaching assistants experience, this time to face this work, more leisurely J .

The following is a summary of the work content:

• Student Size: Two classes of students,
• Number of Job corrections: 16 weeks of work, including team work, progress bar work, knot-to-work and personal assignments, and assist in statistics of attendance points.
• Instructor-led courses: Two classes for each class, with the use of JUnit and GitHub.
• Students Blog Comments: Each homework after the children's shoes blog for some reviews, because the reviews are more, so can not be quantified.

Because oneself also has the work, therefore arranges in the teaching assistant aspect the time is not too fixed, generally is the week 6th or the work earlier, at the same time some need to examine the procedure the work, spends the time to be more, often one day can revise finishes.

Our team project this semester is not too difficult, the level of the algorithm involved is also relatively small, are based on the existing API to do the system, on the one hand because of my own weak algorithm, on the other hand we also consider to let children's shoes as much as possible to reach a broad range, such as: The Web, database, Android ... But I think this is a need to improve the place, or to strengthen the training of the algorithm and programming skills training, this is the foundation, so I hope that the children's shoes in the first class of soft workers to listen carefully, to play a solid foundation, to the soft work of this course can be relatively quick to do the project, Otherwise, often tangled in the grammatical level and the configuration level of the problem, it is easy to lose enthusiasm, but also can not complete more in-depth practice.

This semester and the teacher also has children's shoes interactive or relatively harmonious, the group is a very good place to communicate, relative to the last semester and children's shoes with the private message of the blog Park Communication, communication is more timely and can quickly get feedback, the release of information is more convenient, this is worth continuing to use the method.

According to my two-semester understanding, the students in the basic disciplines of the study of the lack of learning, such as Java, but the basic to the soft work, it has been forgotten, and some students talk, this reason on the one hand from the Java curriculum is relatively shallow, there is no practice is very deep, Cause everyone to forget after learning, other specialized courses are similar, so, the soft work to learn good, but also to other courses , such as programming lessons, database principles ... Really achieve the learning effect of the course, rather than simply over the grammar, read some of the PPT, it is best to have a corresponding practice link, can please some industry related engineers to the TA, is also a good way, at least let students get in touch with some knowledge of enterprise programming, You can also let the students take a few detours that they have traversed.

?

Where the TA needs to be improved:

Timely comments, I think this semester sometimes I also with the lack of tight, leading to some progress bar blog did not submit in the deadline I can not track, some students just wrote a title before the assignment, followed by the submission time to supplement the content (such people should give 0 points, but, I changed my homework time after he submitted, so I can not judge, so the default is divided.

To enhance their programming ability, I am currently working for nearly four years, contact the project is more limited, I in the spare time also to add their knowledge, so as not to be a batch of new people eliminated, at the same time can bring out more excellent students.

In the assignment and grading process, and the teacher's requirements have some conflict, resulting in the students will not know what the grading standard is, this need to improve the point is: in advance and teachers to communicate good homework/scoring conditions, and then the teacher to publish homework to the students do, so it is not easy to create ambiguity.

?

Where the teacher needs improvement:

Hope that teachers can increase their technical level, because the teaching assistant is sometimes unable to answer all the technical questions, I hope the teacher in this piece can give some help and support.

Hope that the teacher to the school to win some teaching assistants welfare, attract more enterprise engineers to invest in the Teaching assistant team, whether it is for students or schools, is a great help.
