Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this R course, I 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

Each lecture is consisted of teaching, practice and working on assignments. Students need to finish the assignment and submit it by the end of the course, which will be the basis of the evaluation.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Computers with installed R and RStudio will be provided to student during the course, however, students may feel free to bring their own laptop with them. There will be assignments in each lesson. In total 6 assignments will contribute 100% towards the final grade. A minimum final normalized score of 50% is necessary for course completion. As this is a practical course, presence is required, meaning that minimum 80% of presence is required to complete the course.

Prüfungsstoff

There will be no extra exam. In each lesson, students need to submit an assignment, based on which they learn. The final note is based on these 6 assignments.
