Voraussetzungen

Google Colab or Jupyter Notebook environment:

We will work with notebooks in google colab to ensure consistent programming environments for everyone. If you don't want to use google colab, you can set up your notebook in jupyter i.e. with Anaconda. Here you can find a link on how to do this. Please be ready to open notebooks with either colab or jupyter when the course starts.

 

Basic programming skills

We will assume that participants have programmed before, i.e. know how to

• write and call functions
• work with external libraries
• use different data-types (int, char, strings, list, dictionaries)
• write loops, ...

in at least one programming language. If you want to look up how to do this in python, we recommend checking out this tutorial.

Or enroll in the self-paced open HPI course ‘Fundamentals of Programming for Digital Health
https://open.hpi.de/courses/hpi-dh-fprog2021. This course also provides auto-graded exercises.

Leistungserfassung

• Solving a data analysis assignment in a team of max. 5 people
• 30min Team presentation on analysis results (70% team grade)
• 15min Q&A after presentation (30% individual grade) 

Termine

Monday March 28th, 2022 until Friday April 8th, 2022
