| Course contents : | This course aims at encouraging the autonomous use of available information sources.
Sources mean: lecture notes, recommended reference books, other reference material, the Internet.
Learning means: lectures, practicals, Problem-Based Learning seminars and professional training.
Scientific communication increasingly relies on computers to create and analyze information and uses the Internet as a distribution medium. Such tools have become essential not only for students, but also for professionals. In addition, they play a crucial role in the further education process.
As a result, the « Learning Techniques » course also includes an approach of computers, operating systems and peripheral units. In the second year, the course will present an approach of documentary research methods and critical reading exercises. |

It deals with the following aspects:
1. Computer: Hardware architecture
2. Computer-science basics: Binary system
3. Operating systems: Basics
4. Programming: Introduction
5. Networks and protocols: Introduction to networks
6. Practice: Using software and the Internet
In addition, the ¿Comment ça marche? ¿ l¿informatique¿ homepage proposes a series of documents available to all students, subject to their curiosity and interest in the field.
All useful information will be available on the University of Liège¿s Website (students¿ portal MyULg).) |
