| 1 | Advanced Imaging Techniques | WMBY015-05 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The major incentive of the course is getting acquainted with a broad range of modern imaging techniques which are being used in the neurosciences. Students are trained to be able to explain the principles underlying the technique, its use and its limitations. For specific research questions, students learn to be able to decide which technique is most suitable. Students are also trained to present a relevant scientific article. They prepare a PowerPoint presentation and present it to the other master students participating in the course and receive feedback about their performance. Techniques involved are among others PET, (f)MRI, electron microscopy, EEG, confocal scanning microscopy and tracking behavior. Within the course two practicals are provided to visualize data and to track behavior, for the latter a report needs to be written. In addition two demonstrations are given on two specific imaging techniques. Master students who attended the bachelor course unit cannot participate in the Master course unit Advanced Imaging Techniques. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 4 | Advanced Statistics | WMBY018-06 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content: Introduction to R and review of basic statistics. Further topics: general linear models (ANOVA, ANCOVA, multiple regression); generalized least squares; mixed models; generalized linear models; generalized linear mixed models; Bayesian analysis and MCMC; animal models; multivariate analysis. During the last week of the course analysis and presentation of own data set. Description: This course teaches advanced statistical analysis almost from the ground up. The only requirement is some familiarity with basic statistical concepts and methods, such as taught in most introductory statistics courses. Some experience with R is useful but not crucial. During the first three days, basic methods and R will be reviewed to refresh your memory. During the next three weeks, cutting-edge techniques such as GLMMs, power analyses and Bayesian MCMC models will discussed and practiced. Each day will start with a review of the exercises of the previous day, followed by lectures and new computer labs. Mathematics will be kept to a minimum, and in addition to developing analytical skills, the course also puts much emphasis on producing effective and great-looking graphs (mostly using the ggplot2 package). The last week of the course will be dedicated to analyzing your own data, unleashing the newly learned techniques. If you have no data yet, alternative suitable data will be found elsewhere or simply created de novo with simulation models. Your methods, results and conclusions will be documented in a report which will be graded. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 5 | Animal Experimentation | WMBY019-05 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This course is in transition to a completely new e-learning format. Please be prepared for possible change during the academic year. The learning objectives, content and judgement will be very similar, but the format is changed to learning via videos, quizzes, and assignments. Enrolling in this course is only finalized once you will have completed following your first instruction in NESTOR. Thereafter, selected course participants will work within a google classroom environment, where more detailed information will be provided. The aim of the course is to prepare students starting a master research project in which they participate in animal experimentation, with respect to methodological, practical and ethical aspects. At the end the students are prepared to carry out the masterproject, under supervision of and guided by the CCD permit holder. The course has a blended classroom format with a limited contact hours. The students complete an online portfolio after practical instructions in their master project, and conduct the theoretical part as a homework assignment. They will also participate in a tour through the animal facility to learn about practical procedures while performing their study and the people involved, and attend a contact hour with an interactive lecture when topics can be discussed. The theoretical part consists of 5 modules containing information on (1) Ethics and researcher integrity in animal and human experimentation, (2) Rules & Regulations in animal and human experimentation, (3) Research question, experimental and statistical design, (4) Choice of experimental model and subjects, and (5) Animal experimentation in practice. By in-depth reading of scientific papers, looking up content on the internet and by self-reflection, students will learn about scientific, practical and societal aspects of working with animals during their master project. For research involving humans, students must consult with their supervisors. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 6 | Basiscursus Master Lerarenopleiding | TEM0105 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bij dit vak doet de student basale kennis en vaardigheden op over het beroep als (vak)docent. Hij volgt daartoe (online) algemene colleges op het terrein van de pedagogiek en didactiek. Daarnaast neemt de student, onder leiding van de vakdidacticus, deel aan fysieke en/of online bijeenkomsten rond vakdidactiek. De student leert hoe een les te plannen en te evalueren, traint in het geven van deellessen, leert wat het betekent om voor een groep pubers te staan en wat hen motiveert en wat het belang is van een veilig leerklimaat. De student krijgt opdrachten mee die uitgevoerd worden in de onderwijspraktijk (Masterstage 1), leert hoe je gegevens verzamelt over die onderwijspraktijk (observaties, interviews, leerlingvragenlijsten) en hoe je die praktijk vanuit de theorie kunt analyseren. De student oriënteert zich daarmee op alles wat hem tijdens het vervolg van de opleiding te wachten staat en bouwt een realistisch beeld op van zijn geschiktheid voor dat vervolg. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 24 | Masterstage 1 Lerarenopleiding | TEM0205 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bij Masterstage 1 loopt de student stage op een school voor voortgezet onderwijs (in de regel twee dagen per week) onder begeleiding van een vakcoach. Hij verricht observaties, interviewt leerlingen, bereidt (deel)lessen voor, geeft ze en bespreekt ze na met de vakcoach. De student verzamelt informatie en feedback over de kwaliteit van het eigen handelen (o.a. door de afname van een leerlingenquête), rapporteert daarover en beschrijft zijn ervaringen in een stageverslag. De student oriënteert zich daarmee op het leraarschap en leert hoe je in de context van de school onderzoekend kunt werken aan het sturen van je ontwikkeling. In de context van de stage voert de student daarnaast opdrachten uit in het kader van de basiscursus lerarenopleiding (TEM0105), die parallel is georganiseerd aan de stage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

PBfB presents a broad range of open-source, free and flexible computational tools applicable to geneticists, molecular biologists, ecologists, oceanographers, physiologists, or anyone with an interest or need for bioinformatics in their research. PBfB emplhasizes the practical application of bioinformatic methods to solve real-life analyses. PBfB covers data -centered computing in a Unix/Linux environment. PBfB introduces the basics of a 'nix environment, such as; remote installation and execution of software. Students will be familiar with command line tools to explore and analyze data as well as the use of scripting languages such as Python and R to (a) code custom analyses and (b) to design effective pipelines of existing software. The use of databases and retrieval of data from public on-line databases will be introduced. Data visualization techniques, such as GIS tools, will be introduced using the statistical language R. Topics addressed in PBfB will employ practical example from different research fields, e.g., Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data in genetics and molecular biology, as well as remote sensing and oceanographic data widely used in spatial ecological and evolutionary biology. The course consists of short lectures featuring new concepts and examples as well as practical computer exercises and individual assignments. In the last week, students will conduct a project assignment in small groups implementing the use of skills acquired during the course, aimed at solving real-life analyses. Students will present their pipeline and results to the class in an oral presentation during the last days of the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 36 | Programming C++ for Biologists | WMBY010-05 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This course, which is specifically designed for biology students, teaches the participants how to develop software in the programming language C++. Emphasis is given to the implementation of biological models, using individual-based simulations and various numerical methods for dynamical systems analysis. Students are able to tailor the contents of the course to their own level of proficiency. For students with no prior programming experience, the course offers an introduction to the essentials of the C++ programming language, including: • Procedural programming: data types, operators, program flow and functions • The Standard Template Library • Data input, generation of output including statistics like mean and standard deviation • Numerical simulation techniques for biological models More experienced programmers (including those who followed BSc level courses) can instead focus on advanced topics, such as: • Program design, algorithms and debugging • Pointers and memory allocation • Object-oriented programming • Pseudo-random numbers and stochastic simulations The course consists of two parts: during the first three weeks (5 ECTS), students extend their programming skills by learning a new element of the programming language each day, and practise its application in programming exercises. The final three weeks of the course (5 ECTS) are devoted to a programming project. Here, students work on a biological research question of their choice and design and implement a simulation algorithm from scratch. They also learn how to systematically collect simulation data, and to present their results in an oral presentation, with associated annotated program code and documentation. Students may choose to omit the final project and receive a grade for a 5 ECTS course (WMBY010-05) after completing the first half of the program, or may work independently on their programming project at a suitable later time. The course is also available as a selfstudy course. The course code used in ProgressWWW for registering the 10 ECTS variant is WMBY010-10. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
