Discussion on the Teaching Reform of the Adaptive Control Course for the Postgraduate Students

Abstract

The Adaptive Control is an important course for the postgraduate students of Control Science and Engineering. However, in the teaching it is found that there exist some problems: large amount of theoretical formulas, lack of study interests for students, difficulties in learning, poor effect of study, etc. Aiming at these problems, combined with the opinions gathered from the students, this paper tries to analyze the reasons that lead to these problems, and then tries to provide some suggestions on the teaching reform of this course in four aspects, such as the contents selection of this course, the ways of teaching, etc. The attempts of seminar-style teaching in the Adaptive Control course are mainly discussed as well. This work also provides a reference for the teaching reforms of related strong theoretical post-graduate student courses.
