Teaching Assistant Journal _ final Summary

The work of teaching assistants seems simple but difficult

The winter vacation when received by teacher Yang, asked if I would like to accept the "law of construction" This book of software engineering teaching assistant, and Yang told me the author of the book Xin Zou Teacher is Microsoft chief research and development director. I would like to have a closer contact with the cattle will certainly have something to gain, I would gladly accept. Niu told me that he had also worked as a teaching assistant, I consulted him, the result is very gratifying to me, he said that the TA is very simple, is to comment on the blog, see the students write code, I believe.

School, I have to speak two courses this semester, but also received the invitation of Zhou, this semester as the Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Software engineering This course of teaching assistants. At the beginning of the school week, teachers and I stressed the seriousness of the problem, Shenyang University of Aeronautics and astronautics this semester to learn software engineering This course students are more than 150 people. But I did not feel how, just want to comment on the blog, see how many articles can be used. The first teacher and Xu teacher left homework, I collapsed, I tried to calculate a bit, see + comment on a classmate's blog needs about 5 minutes, that is, 1 hours to review the blog of 10 students, this is only the initial opening of the "read through the construction of the law", put forward five questions " Such simple text type of blog. 150 students, I want to spend at least 15 hours, this is two days of work Ah, every week Saturday Sunday, I will sit in front of the computer for two consecutive days, this is only the simplest of the original text-based blog. I apply for assistance, Zou teacher and Zhou teacher Volume I was the first time to work as a TA, will be sent to Liu Dashin to help me to complete this work, I am responsible for 12 classes of classmates, he is responsible for 34 classes of classmates.

I began the long and challenging work of teaching assistants. Every Friday, I will open a teacher's blog to accept the task, which is like a sacred mission. Just started commenting on the blog, I really have no experience, will only say some continue to refuel and other words. Zhou and Zou teacher said I, comments too soft, to sharply point out the students of the problem. For me, I am a teacher, because I teach students are professional college students, college entrance examination more than 200 points up, so my class is to encourage + encouragement, if I point out that they do not good, their usual performance is to retreat or revolt, and even give up learning. But I think Zou teacher and Zhou teacher said is very rational, do not point out the problem, how to improve it, not improve how to improve it.

Second, the students feedback content

at the end of the course, all students have a serious answer to the following additional questions, there is a corresponding bonus points. "Additional Jobs" Shen Aviation software engineering end-of-term additional work

The following are the results of the students ' feedback:

2. Less team time
4. Teachers should strengthen supervision on attendance rate and strengthen the reorganization of classroom discipline
6. A pair of project scoring criteria should also be the same as the team project, two people themselves assigned their own scores, and only they know how much they have done for the project, how many points
8. People who want to deal with plagiarism seriously.
10. Improve the scoring standard, I feel that the grading standard is too low, part of the high scores of the students to come up with the work is not as good as I imagined.
12. Students think the blog is well written, may be high, teaching assistants do not know classmates, disorderly to points.
14. Everyone in trooped programming has benefited, and hope to add another trooped programming project
16. Regularly let the work of the group in the classroom to show you the work of the project, preferably in the form of PPT, and to have a picture of the truth, after the completion of the following groups in exchange
18. Increase your personal challenges and increase your difficulty appropriately
20. For students who perform well (including progressive), they should be encouraged appropriately.
21. The teacher always thought everyone was doing well but in fact it is not, I think should increase a reply to the project, no reply, some students after the course will still be the same, learning is not the thing or learning.

    Third, the students in addition to the truth:

    1. Where do you think this course needs to be improved, specific measures, including: time schedule, project difficulty, etc. can be;

    I think this course does not really discover a group of people who really have a strong interest in programming or have a particularly strong programming ability, I think it can be a combination of these people really make a large project, so there will be few people lazy do not do, contribute less and so on;

    Solution: Each group of push, the introduction of the contribution of more programming ability of the people, because after all, each person's ability is different, I think if the powerful combination of words, perhaps can play a greater advantage; I'm not saying that programming ability is not strong there is no other advantage, on the contrary, a team can not only one or two developers, This can only make small projects, learning software engineering This course is to improve their own ability, if the development of time instinct compression (with the class), may be to those who really like programming, the ability to upgrade is not very large, just equivalent to a class after the small homework it; Also encourage these students to participate in the science and technology competition, etc., can bring different feelings to itself.
    2. What do you think the TA/teacher does not do enough, where the limit is too much;

    I think the class is more binding, whether it can reduce the number of hours to arrange more practice, so that everyone may be on the theoretical knowledge of resistance, over time, the attendance will be reduced;

    Teaching assistants to the results are sometimes more subjective, because for example, the expression of the blog is more divergent, each time to set a standard to judge the results, may be good for some do not say that the students are not fair, because if in a company, change the document is a very common thing, Because it is not very good to judge a writing that does not conform to the standard, if you can give the standard in advance, according to the teaching assistant to the students according to the standard understanding of the results, there will be no too many differences.

    It is obvious to feel that the communication between the TA and the teacher is insufficient, and sometimes the TA does not understand the teacher's requirements lead to problems in the scoring, such as once, the teacher said pair programming in two people, as long as there is a person to upload the program to coding, but the TA does not know, The result of uploading coding score is not added, although this is not as long as, although this is only one copy, but I just cite this example to illustrate the problem, ha

    3. What do you think is the problem with the grading criteria for each project, and what do you think is the appropriate scoring criteria (individual/pair/team count three)

    I think the grading standard is not a problem, according to completion and completion points to score, but hope to put the grading criteria in the process of completion of the task, rather than the final result, although the future work of the customer only to recognize the final outcome of the process, but after all, we are still a beginner of software engineering, process is more important than the results.

    Iv. published Assistant's blog:

    Teaching Assistant Journal _ "Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics software Engineering 1, Class 2" final ranking

    A total of 540 blog comments this semester;

    It takes about 10 minutes to review and comment on a blog post;

    It takes 700 minutes to review blogs on average every week;

    The interaction with the teacher is too little, perhaps 10 times or so;

    And I interact with the most students should be Liu Chang, Sari classmate Although all came to me to divide, but basically are I convinced, during also simple exchange, feel this school students have an upward heart, but seems some weak. School when everyone is full of ambition, said to feel that their foundation is not good, hope to improve their programming ability through this course, but really to the implementation process of the team project, we seem to have recoiled, feel that they do nothing, the team project slowly stranded.

    V. Suggestions to the students:

    Get moving, start writing code now.

    Publish your results online, someone reviews you, you just know where you are not doing well, because you will not do well, win10 operating system and the need for System Restore, not to mention the people we just started to write code.

    Others reviews you, you want to improve in time, so as to quickly fall generation, get new user feedback, you will progress faster.

    Do not be afraid of failure, write a program failed, there is no loss, re-come to the good.

    For should first send the grading standard or the post scoring standard question, I think still should post the grading standard, because later schoolmates to the company, also no one will first evaluate what is good software, what is not good software, the user's scoring standard all is after you made the product only then has, therefore please pay attention each blog, Each time the product is submitted.

    For the students said, "Students think the blog is well written, may be high, teaching assistants do not know classmates, disorderly to points." I personally think that the blog is well written, high points, there is no mistake. I remember my teacher told me that project presentation is as important as project coding, and I have a deep understanding of the actual work. Blog is the place where everyone presents their works, if the blog is not well written, I think there are three reasons, one is that you did not make a decent product, the second is that you do not seriously write a blog, three is you disdain to write a blog. For which kind of classmate, I think should not give high score, please write a blog, good display of their products.

    Vi. improvements to be made by teachers:

    A few basic scoring criteria are presented in the blog that publishes the job.

    Review student blogs to let students know that their teachers are also watching their blogs and projects.

    Take some time each lesson to review the students ' projects, or to find a well-done classmate or team to show the project in each class.

    The team project shows the project videos posted online.

    Seven, hope that some of their own improvements:

    More and teachers to communicate, sometimes teachers in class have said how to score, but I do not know, and so on, and so the classmate reaction I and the teacher's grading standards are inconsistent.

    Learning more about computing domain knowledge, improve their own programming skills, so that the guidance of students will be more helpful.

    Comment on the blog more timely, the results released more timely, so that students will find the teacher urged tight, self will not relax.

    Blog written more quality, illustrated, scoring standards more detailed, more clear-organized.

    Viii. Words of thanks:

    Thank Zou Teacher has always been to my support, work so busy also every day to see the students of the blog, and always can sharply point out the students of the problem, in order to software engineering education will own the fee to give us these assistants to send subsidies.

    Thanks to the help of Liu Ta for a semester, it can be seen that he is a true love of computer, professional Foundation deep. In the process of being a teaching assistant, every project score is refined to no longer fine, maps, charts, and every one of them is so refined. Also especially like to help others, every time I was confused, he volunteered to help me solve, I this teacher is really shame.

    Thanks to teacher Zhou has been like my sister to guide me, urging me, but also often to the students to send the soul of chicken soup, always pay attention to the students of the dynamic, help me solve the problem.

    I thank Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Zhang and Xu teachers, they have been very trusting me, during my due to physical reasons can not review the blog, they also sent a concern, my work has been very supportive, here to express thanks.

    Finally, I would like to thank my teacher Yang, is because teacher Yang I can and software engineering, "Construction of the law" to become attached to the "tear-resistant team" practice software engineering, as the Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics teaching assistants, found themselves and other people's Gap.

    A semester of software engineering teaching assistants, harvest is certainly some, I hope to make unremitting efforts, and constantly learn to enrich themselves.
