Abstract: This study proposes a practical task-oriented teaching approach for the “Advanced Separation and Analysis” course. Following theoretical instruction for each chapter, comprehensive practical tasks are assigned as independent assignments. Classroom discussions are then conducted in a flipped classroom format based on students' task design proposals, during which key concepts are systematically reviewed and summarized. For final assessment, students deliver group presentations reviewing current research developments related to the practical task themes, thereby expanding their exploration of cutting-edge knowledge in the field. A specific teaching case focusing on the “adsorption separation” chapter is presented to illustrate this approach.
