Therefore, the teaching reform based on project driven teaching method was proposed in classroom teaching. According to the important course contents, several project proposals were edited covering parts of teaching contents. The students were divided into several research teams to carry out and complete these projects, and achievements were submitted as the main base of evaluating the grade.
