Academic and
Teaching Dynamics
On Tuesday, the Cascade Joint Lab was filled with a strong scientific atmosphere. Mr. Wu Ding and Ms. Zheng Tongxiao from Sikai Academic were invited to our school to lead students from the Life Science Club to use their scientific knowledge to solve puzzles and unravel the mystery of the CSI crime scene.
Mr. Wu introduced the innovative practical courses in the LCC-“Life Science +” lab to the students. Ms. Zheng's course, themed “CSI Crime Scene Investigation”, led students to take the role of “CSI” police officers and use biological techniques to solve the mystery of the case. Through the interpretation of cases and experimental operations, she helped students master genetic investigation techniques and learn to collect evidence from the crime scene and restore the truth.
In this week's Brain-Computer Connection Club course, students presented their well-prepared presentations, shared their understanding of brain-computer interface technology, and stimulated a clash of ideas through interactive questions. Afterwards, the course delved into the academic frontier, and students studied two English literature: “Fundamentals of EEG Measurement” and “EEG-Based Neurohaptics Research: A Literature Review”. A Literature Review) Through reading the literature, students will understand the core principles of EEG technology and its cutting-edge applications in the field of neurohaptics. Next Friday, we will have an in-depth discussion on the literature to explore the future development direction of brain-computer interface technology.
This week, our school successfully held the first monthly examination of this semester. In the examination room, students were calm and focused on answering the questions, fully demonstrating a rigorous learning style and positive learning attitude. This monthly examination is not only a comprehensive test of the students' learning achievements in the previous stage, but also provides them with an important opportunity to identify problems and optimize learning methods. At the same time, teachers through careful marking and analysis of the learning situation, accurately grasp the teaching dynamics, for the subsequent adjustment and optimization of the teaching plan provides a scientific basis. The monthly examination is not only a display of learning results, but also an important step for teachers and students to make progress together.
