Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course is complementary to the course "VO BAK 3 Quantitative Methoden”.This course aims to equip students with the basic applied skills needed to understand and carry out basic data analysis. The content of the course includes basic descriptive and inferential statistics.The aim of the course is to equip students with the basic applied skills needed to carry out easy data projects on their own. The content of the course includes basic descriptive and inferential statistics, as well as the graphic representation of results. The course design relies on practical exercises in the computer lab and interactive discussions. Students will revise the basics of empirical quantitative research methods and learn to apply the basic tools of quantitative data analysis using the open-source software R (with RStudio). It is recommended to install the necessary software (R, RStudio) on your own laptop before the start of the course. Both are available online free of charge.By the end of the course, students should be able to describe and manipulate a dataset and conduct basic inferential analyses. Students should also be able to develop and answer research questions using quantitative methods and appropriately interpret and present quantitative research findings.Please note that the course will be instructed in English. This requires that class discussions, weekly assignments, written tests, and the final paper are completed in English.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The final assessment will be based on the following components:
(1) Participation (10 points) Regular attendance in class (a maximum of 2 classes can be missed) and active participation in class discussions.
(2) Five homework assignments (25 points): Assignments will be based on materials from the course texts.
(3) A mid-term exam (25 points): The exam will cover theoretical questions about quantitative methods of empirical social research and the interpretation of R outputs. Duration: 45 minutes.
(4) Final assignment (40 points): At the end of the course, students will be required to write a final paper (2,000–2,500 words) that formulates and answers a research question using quantitative methods.Students must submit their assignments in PDF format along with the corresponding scripts. Turnitin will be used to check for plagiarism.
