Graph Visualization and Complex Network Theory Applied to the Analysis of Departmental Teaching Assignment Plans
摘要
This paper presents a new approach to analyze the Teaching Assignment Plan of a large-sized university department, using in conjunction graph visualizations and Complex Network measurements. In this study, we propose the usage of a macro-scale analysis solution to offer an overall vision to the department chair and the teaching committee for effective decision making. The advantages of the approach are commented, and it is illustrated with a practical use case corresponding to a Spanish Computer Science department of more than 150 teachers and a total of nearly 310 courses taught.
