| Inhalt |
This course aims to equip students with the basic data skills needed throughout their degree course and beyond. The course covers basic practical skills in gathering, preparing, and manipulating digital data for research purposes. Practical exercises and case studies from current research projects will deepen the concepts taught and train students in the basics of programming with data. The first part of the course covers theoretical concepts in handling digital data by focusing on different data structures and data formats. In the second part, students will learn to manipulate and prepare digital data for research purposes. Students will acquire basic programming skills with R in order to apply these practices with real-world datasets. |
| Lernziele |
At the end of the course, the students should be able to handle digital data for analysis purposes. Students will be able to import data into R and organize the data efficiently in data base structure. Students get familiar with best practices to gather, clean, and manipulate digital data for research purposes. They are capable of planning and managing the first steps of an empirical research project based on digital data. Finally, students acquire basic programming skills with R in the context of real-world data sets. |
