The three teach modes are the Here we assume that, S is evaluation in the 1 traditional teaching method, seminar method, and traditional lecture method combined with the seminar traditional lecture method. S2 is evaluation in seminar method. Then, the proportion of the total score in some teaching methods of three kinds of evaluation method. S3 is evaluation in traditional lecture method multiplied by the weight of their accounts. Finally, we combined with the seminar method. can draw a conclusion through the points of each method. Specific computation formula is as follows: We compare S , S and S3. The maximum one 1 2 shows that its method is best method in the three methods. 98 3. Case study Table 3.
