Särskild behörighet
Kursens syfte To give students theoretical knowledge about programming, introduce widely used programming techniques and give practical experience in solving real-world research problems using programming languages widely spread in academia. The course requires no programming experience. Minor experience with any programming language or data analysis is an advantage.
Kursens lärandemål After the completed course, the participants will be able to solve programming problems in research process: pick the appropriate method of decomposition, create algorithms and data structures, implement the created algorithms using R/Python programming language, write maintainable and reusable code, visualise data, work in group with other programmers and prepare code for publishing. Theoretical knowledge obtained during the course will help students to continue improvement of their programming skills either themselves or through other courses.
Kursens innehåll Programming techniques, types of problem decomposition, functional programming, object-oriented programming, modular code, data import and export, data visualisation, parallel programming.
Arbetsformer The course consists of lectures, hands-on labs (individual and group).
Obligatoriska moment The practicals and group works are mandatory. Absence has to be compensated according to the instructions of the course director.
Examination The participants will be examined by completed individual laboratory practicals and the final project report.
Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel Course relies on classical literature in computer science as well as modern interactive resources.
Antal studenter 12 - 15
Urval av studenter Selection will be based on 1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant's doctoral project (according to written motivation), 2) start date of doctoral studies (priority given to earlier start date)
