Title: Biological data science courses at UMONS, Belgium: student's activity for 2020-2021
Abstract: Progression of the students in the different exercises of the biological data science courses at the University of Mons, Belgium for the academic year 2020-2021. Activity of the students was recorded to monitor their individual progression in asynchronous exercises. The courses were taught in flipped classroom by Philippe Grosjean ([email protected]) and Guyliann Engels ([email protected]) the University of Mons. These authors designed almost all the teaching material, the exercises, and the related software. The courses were also taught at the Campus Charleroi by Raphaël Conotte ([email protected]) that also contributed to a part of the learnr exercises and of the inline course. <strong>How to use these data?</strong> The README file provides detailed information on the purpose, collection and management of the data. The data are presented in tabular format in CSV files. Metadata in the `datapackage.json` document the different tables and their fields. It is in the Frictionless data format (https://frictionlessdata.io). You can get a view of a part of these metadata by uploading the file `datapackage.json` into the inline data package creator at https://create.frictionlessdata.io. There is a large set of libraries and tools for different programming languages available at https://frictionlessdata.io/tooling/libraries/. Otherwise, any CSV library should import the data in your favourite software. Please, note that encoding is UTF8. For R, the {learnitdown} package provides specific functions to import these data and/or convert them in a SQLite database (https://www.sciviews.org/learnitdown/).
