Content Introduction

Hands-on

This is a hands-on course. That means we aim to teach with students being active and coding a lot! That's why you will find many notebooks (colabs) used to show code and let the students practice with them. We use slides to complement the notebooks. At the end, you are free to choose how you want to introduce the concepts. The given material is a suggestion.

Weekly Schedule

• Monday: Regular Class. We recap the homework.

• Wednesday: Regular Class. We give homework to the students.

• Wednesday - Monday: Students work on their homework

Key Resources

Resource Type	Platform	Description
Colab Files	Drive	We work with Notebook files in the IDE Google Colab. You can find the colabs in Drive.
Slides	Drive	Slides can be used to visualize concepts. You find prior slides decks in the drive.
Homework Colabs	Drive	You can find Homework colabs in the drive. However, not every week might have homework yet! In that case, browse the archive and further resources or create a new homework colab.
Student Hub	Gitbook	The student hub helps students navigate the course. We aim to structure the hub as a knowledge base, meaning that concepts of the course are explained in the hub.

Let's have a look at the Material

• Drive: You can find all files in the Drive folder? Do you see the slides and the colabs?

• Student Hub: The student hub is the "knowledge base" for the students where they find extra resources about the concepts being covered in the course. It is currently under construction. We will share it with you soon!

How to teach? Best Practices!

We share several best practices. For example, the concept of "How little is enough?" or the "I Do, We Do, You Do" methodology. In the end, it is your decision how you want to teach it. We recommend to browse through the concepts before teaching a session: Course Content
