Reform and Practice of Introduction to Algorithmic Design & Analysis in Local Undergraduate Colleges

Algorithm courses are the core of the curriculum system of computer science and technology and play an important part in cultivating students' creative ability. In this paper, the teaching status of the course of Introduction to Algorithmic Design & Analysis in our school was analyzed from the views of students and teachers. Then, aiming at developing students' ability of analyzing and solving problems, specific ideas for curriculum teaching reform were put forward, namely, task module division, teaching content design, visualization teaching based on mind map and problem driven teaching. In addition, specific examples of problem-driven teaching and visualization teaching were also provided. It is worth noting that the introduction of problem-driven cases has promoted students' deep thinking and improved their computational thinking ability. At the same time, the introduction of visual teaching method helps students get better understanding and memory effect.
