In order to implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, and in accordance with the guidelines for the VEC (Vocational Education Curriculum) Construction issued by the Ministry of Education, as well as the university's requirements for the construction of demonstration courses, the School of Computer Science organized a demonstration course on March 1st, during the first week of the semester. The course, titled Discrete Structures, was taught by Professor Yang Bo to first-year computer science students. Attending the observation session were Sun Yangguang, Vice Dean of the School of Computer Science; Professor Lan Wenfei, the university's teaching supervisor; Wang Jun, Chair of the Department of Network Engineering and Program Development Leader; Zhu Jianlin, Party Branch Secretary of the Department; Fan Jinrong, Chair of the Department of Automation and Mechanical Engineering; and new faculty members, including Shi Meng, Deng Tian Tian, Huang Zhuo, and Lai Pan.

Professor Yang Bo focused on the second lecture of the Discrete Structures course, which covered the topic of "Propositions and Logical Connectives." She began by presenting a short video from social media as an example and asked students: Is the content in the video true or false? How can we apply critical thinking to assess its authenticity? She then explained the difference between facts and opinions and how to identify facts, opinions, and opinions that are mixed with facts. By defining propositions, she concluded that opinions cannot be true or false and therefore do not qualify as propositions.

Professor Yang Bo used real-life examples to closely link the basic theories of propositional logic with practical cases. She guided students through a detailed analysis of the statements in the video, revealing that all of them were opinions mixed with facts and self-contradictory. Through this analysis, she emphasized to the students the importance of critical thinking skills in today's era of rapidly advancing AI technology, urging them to actively engage in learning and apply these skills in their everyday lives.

The Discrete Structures course is highly theoretical, combining the reasoning characteristics of mathematics with the practical applications of computer science. The course has been recognized as a Provincial First-class Undergraduate Course, a University-level Online Course Demonstration Course, and a demonstration course for VEC. Professor Yang Bo places a strong emphasis on cultivating scientific thinking and ethics in her teaching. She incorporates stories of mathematicians—both domestic and international—who explored the unknown, pursued truth, and reached the peaks of science. This inspires students to develop the spirit of craftsmanship and a sense of patriotism in science and technology.

The School of Computer Science places great emphasis on the construction of VEC. It views this as a strategic measure to implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, embedding ideological and political education throughout the talent development system. The school aims to cultivate a sense of responsibility and awareness of ideological and political education among faculty members, advancing this initiative while ensuring that every course serves its role in nurturing students. The goal is to continuously improve the quality of teaching and talent cultivation. This semester, a series of demonstration courses on VEC will continue to be held.
