Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular quizzes and homework assignments. Homeworks contribute 50% to the final grade and quizzes contribute 50%. Participants should bring a laptop for in-class exercises. A passing grade is >50% of combined assessments.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Minimum requirements: No computer programming knowledge required.Assessment criteria:
Understanding relevant mathematical and computational methods in microbial ecology. Applying these methods to typical problems in microbial ecology and designing experiments. Performing mathematical and computational experiments using typical software programs. Presenting and interpreting the results of mathematical and computational experiments. Understanding and discussing recent scientific literature.
