		Computational Thinking for Media Practitioners<br />
		''Instructor:'' [[Jason Reizner]]<br/>
		''Credits:'' 6 [[ECTS]], 4 [[SWS]]<br/>
		''Capacity:'' max. 15 students<br/>
		''Language:'' English<br/>
		''[[Zeitraster\|Date]]:'' Tuesdays, 13:30 to 16:45<br/>

		''Location:'' Marienstr. 7b, Room 101<br/>

		''First Meeting:'' '''19 April 2016, 13:30'''

		==Description==
		"Computational thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent." – Cuny, Snyder, Wing (2010)

		The ability to copy and paste code is not enough: Contemporary media practitioners must have a fundamental understanding of computational processes in order to articulate ideas and realize projects programatically. This module will introduce core computer science principles and programming concepts including data structures, variables, operators, control structures and functions, enabling participants to become familiar with C-syntax languages and develop the skills necessary to work effectively in Javascript, Processing or C/C++. Participants will also focus on identifying, selecting and implementing appropriate external resources, dependencies and libraries, while addressing relevant software development topics including design patterns, documentation and commenting, debugging, version control and licensing.

		==Admission requirements==
		This is an introductory course with no technical pre-requisites.
		Concurrent enrollment in another IFD course offering is strongly encouraged.

		==Registration procedure==
		Registration for Summer Semester 2016 is now closed.

		==Evaluation==
		Successful completion of the course is dependent on regular attendance, active participation, completion of weekly assignments and delivery of a relevant [[/SemesterProject \|semester project]]. Please refer to the [[/EvaluationRubric \|Evaluation Rubric]] for more details.
