The course is intended for students who have already completed Bio-Acoustics I (or have equivalent background). Students will learn to write Praat scripts: ideal for students doing a Masters in bioacoustics. The lectures will be blocked with 7 lectures/practicals of 2.5 hrs each. A major component of the final grade will be a final project, on a bioacoustics topic of the student’s choice.
