On June 5th, the Department of Physics at the College of Physics and Electrical Engineering held a teaching and research activity titled "Discussion on the Articulation of Teaching Content in a Series of Specialized Courses" in Meeting Room 301. The event focused on discussing the teaching articulation between the "Mechanics" course and the "Theoretical Mechanics" course for the Physics (Teacher Education) major. The activity invited two university undergraduate teaching supervisors, Teachers Zhang Jiuru and Zheng Minxue, to participate. Vice Dean Xu Jing of the College of Physics and Electrical Engineering and all faculty members of the Department of Physics attended the event, which was chaired by Professor Shang Xuefu, the head of the Department of Physics.

Teacher Wang Zhengling, who teaches the "Mechanics" course, first introduced the course syllabus and shared some of the challenges encountered in teaching. He pointed out that some of the content in the "Mechanics" course is similar to that taught in high school, and how to handle this overlap is a significant challenge. Additionally, students often lack a solid foundation in mathematics, especially in calculus, which needs to be supplemented during the teaching process. Following this, Teacher Dai Hailang, who teaches the "Theoretical Mechanics" course, discussed the teaching strategies for "Theoretical Mechanics." He suggested that in the teaching of "Theoretical Mechanics," the time spent on overlapping content with "Mechanics" could be reduced, allowing for a faster pace and more focus on key concepts.

University undergraduate teaching supervisor, Teacher Zhang Jiuru, emphasized the importance of avoiding repetition in the sequence of specialized courses to improve teaching efficiency. Teacher Zheng Minxue raised questions about the calculation of achievement levels in course assessments, to which Teacher Wang Zhengling provided a detailed explanation of the assessment methods and standards used in the "Mechanics" course.

The seminar concluded with lively discussions. The participating teachers unanimously agreed that the event not only promoted the articulation and optimization of course content but also offered valuable experience and suggestions for improving teaching quality. The College of Physics and Electrical Engineering will continue to organize such seminars to continuously enhance teaching standards and make greater contributions to the cultivation of high-quality physics talent.
