Algorithmic Complexity and Computability

High-level introduction for web science students, rather than for computer science students.

PowerPoint and skeleton notes - Patrick Doncaster

This is one of a series of short case studies describing how academic tutors at the University of Southampton have made use of learning technologies to support their students.

Sequences and Modules

This is a presentation introducing students to algorithmic concepts such as sequencing, pseudocode and modularity. It includes a class exercise to define the algorithm to make a cup of tea.

Materials for Info1008

These are the materials for a course run at the University of Southampton to teach Algorithmic thinking to Information Technology in Organisation students. The course takes a lightweight approach, and is designed to be used alongside simple programming labs (for example, using Alice).

Building Software Solutions

This presentation explains how we move from a problem definition to an algorithmic solution using simple tools like noun verb analysis. It also looks at how we might judge the quality of a solution through coupling, cohesion and generalisation.

Catalysis at the University of Southampton

This is a video resource to support the teaching of catalysis at A-level. It features explanations of the underlying theory, coupled with an outline of cutting research in this area of Chemistry at the University of Southampton, which relates to the A-level topic. The video files are in the .zip folder, and instructions for how to access them can be found in the attached document. You will also find a Word document called 'Skeleton notes', which is designed to be printed out by students and completed as they watch the video. We will be seeking feedback from students who use the resource, to find out their views about its effectiveness in educational terms. If you have any comments, or if you spot any errors, please contact Dr David Read (d.read@soton.ac.uk).
