This is for those who want to review and further strengthen their core concepts of Programming Fundamentals. The workshop will help you to review fundamental techniques used in computer programming. It will cover the procedure to write basic programming concepts, perform calls to a function including recursive calls, and recall the use of basic data structures: string, list, dictionary, tuple given a moderately complex problem. 

Schedule: December 15th (1:00 – 4:00 pm)  

December 16th and 23rd (Fridays): 3:00 – 5:00 pm  

December 19th – 22nd 2:00 – 5:00 pm

Duration: 7 Days (19 hours)

The purpose of the DSSE Golden Week is to teach students tools central to their academic success, but typically are not taught in classroom settings. During the Golden Week, we will equip participants with the following tools:

  1. LaTeX
  2. GitHub and Version Control
  3. Command Line
  4. Verilog
  5. Security and Cryptography

The workshop will allow participants to use the pygame library to create simple games but fully functioning games complete with graphics and movement. The workshop will introduce you to basic pygame functions: how to use them to load and display game assets and images, how to take input from a user through direction keys and mouse, and most importantly, how to implement game logic to make your game work.  

The course builds upon the theory and applied skills learnt in the 200-level Quantitative Research Methods course. It will cover the fundamentals of data analysis methods through statistical estimation and hypothesis testing, code, coding both quantitative and qualitative variables, and cross-sectional and panel data methods, with the aim to prepare students to excel in SDP 302: Data Analytics. 

The course will introduce students to the key concepts taught in the course Math 205: Linear Algebra.
