Student-Centric Evaluation Methodology for Teaching Effect of Teaching Methods in Computer Organization and Design Course

摘要

Computer organization and design course is one of the fundamental courses for computer science education. With the rapid progress in semi-conductor, new technologies in computer science are also emerging. It becomes more challenging for universities to design computer organization and design course. More new teaching methods and innovations are used to obtain better teaching effects as the corresponding responses to the continuous development of the research and technology. Though the experiences show that the teaching effects can be improved through the innovative teaching methods, how to evaluate the important factors of these methods accurately is still not clear. In this paper, we describe the methodology used by Zhejiang University to evaluate the teaching effects of teaching methods in computer organization and design course. Our methodology is based on the evaluation from the students. Such methodology can help the teachers find out the advantages and flaws of different teaching methods and then improve their work.
