The subject "Computer Techniques in Chemistry" aims to introduce students to the use of advanced computer tools, based on free software, beyond office automation packages already used during the previous courses of the degree, thus expanding skills for work and/or or research.
The subject is divided into four blocks in which the general aspects of the GNU/Linux operating system and how to install it, creation of documents in LaTeX with chemical applications, Fortran and Python will be considered. They will be taught combining small theoretical sessions together with practical examples that the students will verify in situ, and always supervised by the professors responsible for the subject.
The evaluation will consist of carrying out some written tasks (programs and documents in LaTeX) with a weight of 50% together with the preparation of reports explaining how the aforementioned tasks have been implemented (with a weight of 30%) and systematic observation of the work done during the practical sessions in a presentation at the end of the course (20%). There will also be the possibility of not using continuous assessment with a written exam whose weight will be 100% if requested.
English Friendly subject: International students may request from the teachers: a) resources and bibliographic references in English, b) tutoring sessions in English, c) exams and assessments in English.
