- Course objectives
- The goal of the course is to understand the potential of the personal computer in everyday work life. PCs are commonly used to input and consume information (be it any text, music, video, multimedia or interactive content). This course focuses on the missing part in the list: transformation of the information.
Students will lear how information in the computer is structured, how to semantically structure the information and how to work with this structure: in a text editor, spreadsheet processor, database and with simple scripts.
Course is taught in a hybrid form – students read assigned texts and work on their homework before a mandatory seminar lecture, where the results, problems and other details are discussed. - Syllabus
