Part 1: Matlab for Absolute Beginners

What will be taught?
This course introduces students to the basics of programming using MATLAB, an essential tool for anyone interested in science, engineering, or data analysis. By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of how to write and execute basic MATLAB code, create simple plots, and develop a small project that ties all the concepts together.

What topics will you cover?

MATLAB Basics: Navigating the MATLAB environment and understanding its key features.
Variables and Operations: Creating and manipulating variables and arrays.
Control Flow: Using loops and conditional statements to control program logic.
Data Visualization: Creating and customizing simple plots.
Project Development: Integrating all skills into a final, simple MATLAB project.

How class is structured?
The course is structured over five lessons, each building on the previous one:

Lecture and Demonstration (15-20 minutes): Introduce new topics and demonstrate coding examples.
Hands-on Coding (15-20 minutes): Students will write and run their own code, applying the concepts discussed.
Project Work (15- 20 minutes): As the course progresses, students will work on a simple project, which they will complete by the final lesson.
Q&A and Recap (5-10 minutes): Each lesson ends with a review and an open session for questions.

How I teach:

I will use a combination of live demonstrations, interactive discussions, and guided coding exercises. Each lesson will focus on clear explanations followed by hands-on practice, allowing students to immediately apply what they've learned.

Teaching style:

My teaching style is supportive and interactive, encouraging students to experiment with coding while providing plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. I focus on making the learning process engaging by breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps.

How much will learners get to interact with me?

Live Coding Sessions: Students will code along with me during the lessons.
Interactive Discussions: Throughout the course, students can ask questions and discuss their ideas.
Individual Support: During project work, I will provide personalized feedback and assistance.
