---++ General description of the training project

*I: General information of the training*

| *Title*: | Using Physics Analysis Toolkit (PAT) in your analysis |
| *Internet address of the learning environment*: | http://cern.ch/learncms |
| *Last update*: | 4 December, 2008 |
| *Responsible teacher*: | Frédéric Ronga (e-mail: frederic.ronga@cern.ch) |
| *Tutors*: | Benedikt Hegner, Salvatore Rappoccio, Sudhir Malik, Roger Wolf, Benedikt Mura, Charles Plager |
| *Local organization & technical support*: | Kati Lassila-Perini (CERN), Sudhir Malik (FNAL) |
| *Teaching level*: | post-graduate, further education |
| *Discipline*: | software development, data analysis |
| *Estimated number of participants*: | 10-20 |
| *Main goal of the training*: ||
| - participants: develop the software needed in his/her analysis using the common tools provided by the toolkit, and learn the computing tools and procedures for the output data handling ||
| - project team: train future experts, get feedback to improve the product and the documentation || 
| *Pedagogical approach of the training*: ||
| Every participant will have an analysis project and the outcome of the training should be a valid and usable analysis code. ||
| *Contents*: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Sandbox/CMSUserSupportELearningProjectContents ||
| *Brief description of the scenario - tasks and expected results*: ||
| *Phase 1* - Introduction to the basic tools: ||
| - presentation of the working environment for the course ||
| - presentation of the projects- discussion, finding common areas ||
| - get familiar with the software environment and the data formats ||
| - learn the basic functionalities provided by the toolkit and understand why it is convenient to use them ||
| - write the first prototype of the data analysis using the toolkit ||
| - keep logbook of the progress and difficulties encountered ||
| *Phase 2* - Understanding the details: ||
| - learn the principles of the different components of the toolkit and understand their functioning through exercises ||
| - understand what the toolkit provides for the project ||
| - improve and complete the prototype of the data analysis using the toolkit ||
| - keep logbook of the progress and difficulties ||
| *Phase 3* - Data analysis in practice: ||
| - learn how to access and analyze the data provided by the prototype ||
| - get familiar with the final working environment (data accessed through grid, storing and re-accessing the output data) ||
| *Phase 4* - Evaluation: ||
| - summary of the logbooks and the difficulties encountered ||
| - evaluation of the projects by the tutors ||


*II: Organization*

| *Ratio*: | Presence/remote 30%/70% |
| *Brief description of the management of the training - tasks and roles*: ||
| *Responsible teacher*: | present the learning material, guarantee the coherence |
| *Tutors*: | help with the exercises, reply to questions |
| *Content providers*: | plan a learning module and provide contents |
| *Participants*: | prepare a project use-case, complete the exercises, prepare the project, keep logbook |
| *Tools*: | web area for links to contents, discussions and logbooks, code repository for exercises, videoconferencing fro transmission and recording |
| *Management tools*: | Web site, discussion forum, code repository, e-mail (project team) |

*III: General roles and tasks*

| *People* | *Role* | *Task* |
| *Responsible teacher*: | Responsible of the pedagogical content and coherence | during planning: intervene in the planning of the learning material by the content providers |
|| Teacher | Give lectures |
| *Content providers*: | Expert on separate learning modules | Provide learning material |
|*Tutors*: | Guide the participant in their exercises and in their project | Lead hands-on sessions |
||| Reply to questions in discussion forum |
||| Private tutoring |
|*Technical support*: | Practical arrangements | Organize the rooms and EVO connections and recordings |
|| Course-related technical support | Help with technical issues connected to the course (availability of the material, accessibility) |
| *Project management*: | Take care of the timely execution of the plan | Plan and manage the project |
| *Participants*: || Complete the analysis project integrating the issues learnt |
||| Give feedback |
| *Interaction between the protagonists*: |||
| - project team: direct contact, e-mail discussion |||
| - discussion sessions and questions during the lectures |||
| - discussion forum and logbooks |||
| *Tools for interaction*: |||
| - project description and organization documents (wiki), meetings, e-mail for the project team |||
| - discussion forum, wiki logbooks for the participants |||
| *Constraints and limits*: |||
| - availability of tutors |||


*IV: Evaluation modalities*

| *Evaluation criteria of the different activities*: | - simple, illustrative exercises evaluated by the result obtained (e.g. histogram) |
|| - progress followed in the logbook |
|| - final project evaluated by by tutors by analyzing the structure of the software |
| *Date of the final evaluation*: | two months from the start of the training |
| *Feedback*: | - on training: discussion and feedback form in the end of the course |
|| - on the toolkit: discussion, logbook keeping track on the difficulties encountered. |
