Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The main objective of the course DOM-E5074 Composing with Data Flow Programming is to introduce the Pure Data programming language and give opportunity to students to learn and develop their skills in real-time audio processing environment. Equally important part of the course is that we dedicate half of the contact hours for project work in the classroom where the lecturer supports students by giving sufficient guidance, feedback and tutoring.
Assessment Methods and Criteria

The course consists of lectures, exercises, reading materials, tutoring individual or group works. Students will submit their documented project work and ~ 750 words learning diary, both grounds the course examination and final grade. Each student project work will be assessed with the following criteria: Design Values, Aesthetics and Originality; UI design and Production Values; Code Design Quality; Project Analysis - Depth of Understanding; Idea generation and implementation; and Presentation style.
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The course will be taught using the Pure Data programming environment, accompanied by short readings. Composing with Data Flow Programming course is a project-based course. In addition to 36h of contact teaching, at the end of the course, students will submit and present their projects.
