Omschrijving	In this course the student learns the basics of programming in Python. Python is a widely used programming language, both in academia and industry. It’s hard to think of a world without computers. In whichever field you are in, knowing a programming language and its applications will make your life easier and your skillset more complete. We will study basic concepts such as Boolean logic, loops, functions, data types etcetera. We will try to apply the learned programming skills to the study program of the student. Assignments will be given to practice the new skills. Students will have to make instructional videos for their peers, which will also be used to show / test the understanding of the material.
