ABSTRACT

This paper explores the optimization of the "Postgraduate Academic Practice" course, focusing on the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application. The current teaching framework faces significant challenges, including a fragmented theoretical structure and an evaluation system that overly emphasizes final results at the expense of the learning process. To address these issues, we propose a "theory-practice-feedback" loop system that systematically reconstructs theoretical teaching, innovates practical instruction, establishes a comprehensive evaluation framework, and enhances feedback mechanisms. These proposed changes aim to cultivate students' research capabilities, innovative thinking, and comprehensive problem-solving skills. By implementing a multidimensional evaluation system that includes self-assessment, peer evaluation, and expert feedback, we ensure a holistic measurement of students' growth. The establishment of a continuous feedback mechanism facilitates real-time adjustments to course content, thereby enhancing student engagement and satisfaction. Ultimately, this course plays a pivotal role in postgraduate education, fostering high-level professionals who possess both a solid theoretical foundation and practical skills.
