Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course covers the fundamentals of setting up, managing, and conducting data science projects. Students acquire knowledge of processes describing how to approach and implement data science projects. They know the particular steps of the CRISP industry-standard, learn about various cases of how to apply this to different applications (from different areas such as business, humanities, astronomy), and are able to conduct data science projects themselves.
This course consists of lectures, tutorials, showcases, and project presentations. Students will work on their own data science projects in interdisciplinary groups. When the theoretical part has been finished, students apply data science methods, create a poster, and present their results.

Assessment and permitted materials

Midterm test (30%): 11.11. 13:15-14:15 allowed is only a calculator.
Final test (30%): 10.12. 15:00-16:00 allowed is only a calculator.
Project work (40%):
- Review meetings: 16.12. 15:00-16:30
- Posters and videos due: 25.01., 23:59
- Final presentations: 27.01., 13:15-16:30

1) The course is only passed when at least 50% of the total points have been achieved.
2) The use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only allowed if this is expressly requested by the course instructor (e.g. for specific assignments).
3) To ensure good scientific practice, the course instructor may request a "grade-relevant talk" (plausibility check) regarding the submitted written work. This interview has to be completed successfully.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For midterm and final test as well as project work, attendance is mandatory, including kick-off and project presentations.

In total, 100 points can be achieved. Grades are assigned as follows:
[88,100]: 1
[76,88[ : 2
[63,76[ : 3
[50,63[ : 4
< 50 : 5

Examination topics

Midterm test/Final test: Slides and topics covered in the lectures.
Project work: topic-specific poster presentation, handout, KNIME workflow.
