[deal.II] Using the deal.II video lectures for finite element courses
All: Many of you have over the years watched the video lectures I have put onto Youtube (and Bilibili in China): https://www.math.colostate.edu/~bangerth/videos.html These videos were originally intended to allow me more flexibility in my Computational Math courses that I use for more 1:1 interaction with my students. Over time, of course, the number of videos has grown substantially beyond what one needs for a single semester, and the videos have also been used by many others in their courses. But the way I teach these courses has also evolved over time. With a number of education researchers, we have investigated how these courses should be taught, and how this actually works. If you are using these videos to teach your own courses, you may be interested in the following publication where we describe our course design and its assessment: https://www.math.colostate.edu/~bangerth/publications/2020-learning-journals.pdf This paper has a bit of a difficult genesis story. The computational sciences community wasn't too interested in the paper (because mathematicians and computer science folks "know how to teach best" and don't need anyone to tell them), and the education community wanted something more education-y than just a case study (a fair request). As a consequence, the paper has accumulated a number of sections on education theory (specifically section 2) that may not be of such great interest to many of you. But I hope that the rest of the paper -- the course design and assessment sections -- may still be useful to those of you who are or are interested in teaching CS courses!
