Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this R course, we provide lectures, and practical examples to students to be able to undertake R as a widely used language to perform basic to intermediate statistical data analysis, and data visualisation. No prior knowledge in R is required.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Following each lecture, students will receive weekly or monthly assignments requiring them to apply the learned concepts in comprehensive and innovative code segments. A final assignment, scheduled for the semester's last week, will challenge students to employ their accumulated knowledge to manipulate and interpret data, generating graphical representations. The students are permitted to utilize external resources during practical sessions and assignments. Finally, we emphasis on individual's capability of problem solving, coding, and graphical output in the final assessment to assess each student's proficiency.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The minimum requirement for enrolling in basic R programming language courses is a comfortable familiarity with computer software, including file handling, and a basic understanding of Microsoft Excel. In addition, some knowledge in statistics and mathematics would be beneficial. Computers with installed R and RStudio will be provided to student during the course, however access to a computer or laptop capable of running R and RStudio is necessary to complete the practical exercise outside the teaching time.
Our course is comprised of largely two modules: 1. General introduction to R and 2. statistics and plotting in R. There will be one assignment at the end of each module and one exam at the end of the course. Two assignments contribute 55% towards the final grade and the final exam 45%. A minimum final normalized score of 50% is necessary for course completion. Of note, this is a practical course and presence is required.

Prüfungsstoff
In this course, we aim to introduce the basics in R and play with examples so that the students get familiar with analysing using the tool R. Two assignments, each at the end of one module of teaching, are to assess how much students understood the taught topics, as well as final assessment.
