Methods for Teaching Scientific Programming

Andreas Haraldsrud: “Make a simulation of a falling object.” “The following program should calculate the probability of getting yellow, wrinkled peas - fill in the blanks.” “Use chemical language to describe what is happening in this loop.”

Programming can be taught in various ways and depends on context. Andreas will present different methods for teaching programming in chemistry, physics, biology, geoscience and mathematics.

The bi-weekly ODD seminar series at CCSE

The Open Discussions on Didactics (ODD) is a seminar series on Mondays at 13:00-14:00 every other week (odd week numbers) at CCSE.

The seminar will be maximum one hour, often closer to half an hour. It is an informal arena to present and discuss learning theory, educational research and teaching experiences within computational science. To cater to the highly heterogeneous backgrounds and interests of students, teachers and researchers in our environment, we aim for seminars that introduce listeners to new ideas within a broad spectrum of aspects, and that invites reflection and discussion.

Presentations need not be mature and polished - to the contrary we hope that as many as possible wants to share undigested observations and reflections in short presentations of varied form and topics. We hope to have enough contributions to frequently have the meetings as lightning talk sessions, where three different speakers will each give a 5-10-minute presentation followed by discussion.
