Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to write and exectue simple programs in the programming language Python.Students are capable of handling variables with predefined and self-defined custom types and are able to apply type-specific operations. In addition to simple, ordinary types (integer, float, boolean) they master compund types like strings, lists, and maps. Students are familiar with the classical control structures (conditional branches and loops), are able to structure the program code with user-defined functions, and can read data from as well as write data to file. They know how to incorporate external libraries into their program code and are able to analyse and visualize komplex datasets.

Subject of course

The course teaches the basics of computer programming based on the general-purpose programming language Python.Besides structural and syntactic basics, this includes dissemination of strategies for analysing a complex problem, breaking it down to smaller components, and finally implementing an appropriate algorithm. The gathered knowledge is the basis for self-contained programming of assigned tasks.

Teaching methods

Presentation of the concepts of computer programming using Python.

  • presentation of teaching content via online video tutorials (theory and practical coding examples)
  • deployment of a central web based programming environment (Jupyter notebooks) for practical work
  • self assessment via multiple choice tests in TUWEL (theory) and exercises (small progamming tasks) in the Jupyter notebook environment
  • automated evaluation and feedback for self assessment tasks
  • individual support by tutors
