Coding as a tool in data driven projects

This class aims to teach students the basics of coding with Python and how to use it as a tool in data driven projects.

The course is designed for beginners with little or no programming experience. It requires only an interest in using code in a project or the wish to know more about what it means to code; no prior knowledge is necessary. The course is not suitable for those looking to deepen their programming skills.

Students will also evaluate the use of AI tools for coding.

The follow-up to this course is the summer semester course 2025S/S05122 which builds on this knowledge and introduces data analysis concepts to enable students to analyze and visualize data in scientific or artistics projects.

TBD in detail during the first class.

Can include attendance, participation, coding exercises or quizzes, final project (if it applies).

Please bring a laptop.

In-class participation and discussion is encouraged.

Students from other departments or universities will receive a place on the course subject to room capacities.
