Parallel Programming Course with Train-the-Trainer

The Train the Trainer Program includes the curriculum from Monday until Friday according to the course agenda. The Train the Trainer Program starts on Monday with a short introductory meeting at 8:15 am. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday we will have a short review/discussion meeting after the course. On Thursday evening we will have an additional meeting and dinner for all participants of this TtT program. On Friday, we will wrap up with a short review at the end (17:00-17:30).

What does this Train the Trainer Program provide?

• We provide you with all necessary teaching material on a personal basis, i.e., with the copyright to use it and to provide pdf or paper copies to the students in your PhD courses.
• We provide all exercise material.
• You will listen the lectures, so that you can get familiar with the training material.
• During the exercises, you will help the regular students to correct their errors. The regular students are advised to request help if they are stuck for more than a minute. You will be trained to detect their problems as fast as possible (typically in less than a minute) and to provide the students with the needed help.
• For this, and if possible, we will pair you with other TtT participants, so that you can help at a maximum of problems.
• When the participants start with the exercise, all TtT participants will receive a short (5 minutes) briefing on important aspects and usual problems with this exercise.
• Optionally, we can also meet during the few lectures that are not part of the TtT program (e.g., those by external lecturers), or in the morning 8:15-8:30 every day.
