Abstract: Teaching assistant was introduced to solve the outstanding issues in the teaching of authentication of TCM, such as irrationality for teaching subjects, separated theory and practice, incomplete evaluation system. With the help of teaching assistant, the new generation was able to play the advantages on Web-based course and WeChat subscription, and the students are encouraged to apply new media flexibly. Practice teaching was introduced into class to increase the combination of theory and practice. Teaching assistant played an important role in evaluation mechanism standardization and specialization, and forming the basis for formative evaluation. Updating the teaching mode, forming the strategy of autonomous learning and interactive teaching, we are hoping to improve the teaching quality of authentication of TCM, improve students' interest in specialized courses, and to provide reference for better teaching assistants' working and selection.
