230150 UE M6 Data analysis using Stata (2024W)

Participation in this course requires the ability to use Stata. During the lab seminars, the software will be available on the PCs in the classroom. For completing the weekly exercises, students can use the PCs in the computer room on the ground floor of the New Institute Building (NIG). Alternatively, students can obtain the software at a reduced price from the Central IT Service: https://zid.univie.ac.at/software-fuer-studierende/

The course follows a learning by doing course: while the lab seminars offer a detailed introduction to various topics with many explanations and examples, weekly homework assignments are given to practice data analysis using Stata. By the end of the seminar, students are also expected to write a research report that applies the data analysis skills they have acquired.

All written contributions must be submitted through Moodle and will be checked using the plagiarism detection software.

Important Grading Information:
All students who received a place in the course are assessed if they have not deregistered from the course in due time or if they have not credibly shown an important reason for their failure to deregister after the cause for this reason does no longer apply
Students who credibly show an important reason (e.g. a longer illness) for the withdrawal from a course with continuous assessment are not assessed.
Whether this exception applies is decided by the lecturer. The request for deregistration must be submitted immediately.
For a positive assessment of the course, all partial achievements must be fulfilled.
The plagiarism-detection service (Turnitin in Moodle) can be used in course of the grading.
The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is expressly requested by the lecturer (e.g. for individual work tasks).
In order to ensure good scientific practice, the lecturer can provide for a "grading-related discussion" of the written work submitted, which must be completed successfully.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam, plagiarizing parts of a written assignment or by faking signatures on an attendance sheet, the student's participation in the course will be discontinued, the entire course will be graded as "not assessed" and recorded accordingly.
