Cambridge Casual Worker System (CCWS)

This is an In Person Face to Face training session where new starters/new users can view a demonstration of the system and have the opportunity to ask questions/seek assistance on a particular task.

As this is designed for new rather than existing users, your booking will initially be provisional, until approved.

It is often said we live in a society saturated with data. Visualisation methods can play a crucial role in helping to cut through the information overload. Badly designed charts, graphs and diagrams, on the other hand, can confuse or deceive. This session will introduce and contextualise graphical communication practices historically and culturally, helping you to think more critically about your own work and that of others.

We will focus on graphical display as an interpretative and persuasive practice which requires as much attention to detail as writing. A hands-on collaborative exercise using historical data will give you the chance to put your visualisation skills to work. Coding skills are not required for this workshop but a basic familiarity with creating graphs and charts will be helpful. If you need to refresh your skills before the session, please use this open access workbook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wtwqIsWVGcsQ6rvXAzdpfNL5f7mUqV5k_Rr7ZrQCnbo/edit. (if the link doesn't work from UTBS, please copy and paste into your browser).

Change Curve: Bitesize

PPD bitesize resources are short and high impact; including videos, quick tips guides and interactive bitesize modules. Develop your skills and knowledge quickly, easily, when you need. They complement face to face events and more in-depth online modules.

Do you have further questions following your recent supervising experiences? Do you have ideas or experiences that you’d like to share with others? This interactive session is for anyone who attended the workshop ‘An Introduction to Undergraduate Supervision’ and who has started supervising. This 90-minute session aims to follow up with new undergraduate supervisors on their teaching experiences and to answer any questions they might have.

The session will include:

• Q&A about supervisory experience
• Sharing of examples of supervisory practice
• Small-group discussions with peers on teaching experiences

This compulsory session is intended to welcome new graduate students to the Department of Chemistry Library service.

The self-taught Moodle course will briefly cover how the physical library space can be used and, most importantly, give you practical information on how you can access the wide range of electronic resources available to you remotely. It will also cover the services available to you from other Cambridge libraries.

This course is intended to set you up so you can start to do your research as efficiently and effectively as possible.

This compulsory online course will equip you with the skills required to manage the research information you will need to gather throughout your graduate course, as well as the publications you will produce yourself. It will also help you enhance your online research profile and measure the impact of research.

The course is self-taught through Moodle, you can enrol here: https://www.vle.cam.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=252874.

IS4 is a compulsory online course for all first year PhD and new MPhil students. (MPhil students from 2022-23, now in the first year of a PhD are not expected to complete the course again this year).

This course will equip you with the skills required to manage the data you will be collecting throughout your graduate course. It will also help you understand the importance of sharing your data openly.

The course is self-taught on Moodle, with self-enrolment here: https://www.vle.cam.ac.uk/enrol/index.php?id=252875.

This course will cover the quantitative background to underpin many of the electrochemical methods exploited by the research groups in the Department.

• The first part ('Foundations') will cover the background physical chemistry relevant for electrochemical systems: Following a reminder of the basics of electrochemistry, we address the physical chemistry of metals, ionic solutions and the electrode/solution interface, including electrode dynamics, and connection to experimental measurements.

• The second part ('Applications') will cover specific examples of applications drawn from active research groups in the department.

Enrol onto the Moodle course and access notes here: https://www.vle.cam.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=254073

This is a practical skills-based course which comprises of 1 optional drop-in session and 6 compulsory instructor-lead statistics sessions. These will take place in Todd Hamied

Join Cambridge Careers Consultant, Raj Sidhu for a discursive and interactive session where you will learn:

• What career options are open to you after a Chemistry PhD or PostDoc
• What alumni of the Department of Chemistry are doing now
• How to structure and approach career-thinking, during your PhD or PostDoc

All questions will be warmly welcomed throughout.

CCNAv7 R&S: Introduction to Networks Prepares you for a networking career with this introduction to how networks operate. This first course in the 3-course CCNA series introduces architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements – functions needed to support the operations and priorities of Fortune 500 companies to small innovative retailers. You’ll even get the chance to build simple local area networks (LANs) yourself. You’ll have a working knowledge of IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and be able to perform basic configurations for routers and switches. Build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes. Configure routers, switches, and end devices to provide access to local and remote network resources and to enable end-to-end connectivity between remote devices. Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using real equipment and Cisco Packet Tracer. Configure and troubleshoot connectivity a small network using security best practices

CCNA R&S: Routing and Switching Essentials (RSE) delves further into the world of networking with the second CCNA course in a 3-course series. This course focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks, including wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts. You’ll perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN. Recommended preparation: CCNA v7: Introduction to Networks or having equivalent knowledge. Work with routers, switches and wireless devices to configure and troubleshoot VLANs, Wireless LANs and Inter-VLAN routing. Configure and troubleshoot redundancy on a switched network using STP and EtherChannel. Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using real equipment and Cisco Packet Tracer. Explain how to support available and reliable networks using dynamic addressing and first-hop redundancy protocols.

CCNAv7 R&S: Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation is the third course in the 3-course CCNA series. Large enterprises depend heavily on the smooth operation of their network infrastructures.
