September 2023 – 12 week evening course
This evening course is set up specifically for Life-Long-Learners who work all day, but still want to learn programming in Python. To accommodate for the late hour this course will be given more light-heartedly. We’ll make it ‘gezellig’. If it helps, during the presentations, some key words can be translated to Dutch and of course participants can ask their questions in Dutch as well if that is easier for them.
The sessions are weekly on Monday evenings, although we skip the Autumn holiday/Herfstvakantie and the week of Sinterklaas (5th of December). The sessions in December are reserved for optional material and a final assignment and can be skipped if need be.
All sessions take 2 hours on Tuesday evenings from 19:00-21:00 and take 1-2 hours of preparation each. All presentations will be given via the Kaltura classroom (no account required) and can be followed online. Even if sessions would be onsite, you can always choose to join online. All presentations will be recorded and recordings will be available for about 6 months after the course. You’ll receive a certificate of attendance for attending 9 of 12 sessions or (if you prefer) after completing a final assignment.
Sessions 1, 11 and 12 are hybrid. On those sessions you can still join online, but you can also join in the classroom at Zernike in Groningen (room to be announced).
