Abstract

The course "Fundamentals of Computers" is a compulsory general education course for non-computer science majors in undergraduate colleges and universities, and the course is very important for cultivating students' information literacy and computational thinking skills. This course analyzes the previous examination methods of BIPT and analyzes the current assessment methods in the light of the new curriculum reform objectives, and finally proposes further improvement ideas for the currently used assessment methods.

Keywords

fundamentals of computers, assessment methods, computational thinking, ability development
