Course description and aims

Life science and computer science students will form small groups that solve practical problems in the field of computational life science.

Student learning outcomes

Biology students learn computer literacy for group works with computer science students. Computer science students learn basic mathematics for modeling and simulation in Computational life science field.

Keywords

Computational Life Science, Creative Collaborative Works

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In the first 8 classes, students are separated into biology students and computer science students, receiving instruction in separate classrooms. In each class the instructor lectures using original materials. In each class, through simple individual and group exercises, students' achievements are evaluated while also aiding their acquisition of knowledge. In the final 7 classes, students solve group problems in contest format in small groups of students with different majors.

Textbook(s)

Unspecified.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

For every class, instructors lecture independent topics with original handouts.

Assessment criteria and methods

Every class also includes simple exercises by individual students or by groups. These exercises help understanding the principle and also become materials for final evaluation. Ranking in the final competition will be added.
