| Learning outcomes |
By completion of this course, students will be familiar with the theoretical background required for understanding basic sonic algorithmic processes and will have gained skills to develop their first computer music synthesis and sonic interaction algorithms in (mainly, but not exclusively) graphical audio programming environments. |
| General Competences |
The course aims at getting students acquainted with audio programming environments and providing them with the basic understanding and skills of audio programming. This can be considered as an introductory course in digital audio synthesis, as it covers rudimentary knowledge on digital sound and computer music. No prior computer programming skills are required. More specifically, the course offers fundamental knowledge on the following subjects: |
Theory:
Laboratory/hands-on:
|
| DELIVERY Face-to-face, Distance learning, etc. |
Face-to-face (with other students or individually) | ||||||||
| USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY Use of ICT in teaching, laboratory education, communication with students |
Provision of multimedia learning materials; support of the learning process through the asynchronous distance-learning e-Class platform. |
||||||||
| TEACHING METHODS The manner and methods of teaching are described in detail. |

| STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Description of the evaluation procedure |
The course is assessed as follows: I. Midterm Assessment (MA) – 70% of the final grade Development of a programming assignment in a sound and music programming environment during a laboratory session. II. Final Assessment (FA) – 30% of the final grade An individual theoretical assignment on a topic announced during the semester. Participation in both assessment components is mandatory. The final course grade is calculated as the weighted sum of the two components (MA ? 0.70 + FA ? 0.30) and must be at least 5.0 to pass the course. Active participation during class is also taken into consideration. The assessment criteria may be revised from one semester to another; however, they are made available to students through the course webpage and are announced at the beginning of the semester. |
