Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The correct handling of data is at the heart of the Digital Humanities. Practical skills – from data cleaning to data analysis and visualization – are the prerequisite for independent work in the field as well as the basis for an informed dialogue with professional data scientists and software developers. The course will introduce students to the basics of the Python programming language and its most important libraries, thereby leading them towards their use for their own projects. – No previous programming skills are required. Courses will be held in a hybrid mode, and all students are asked to bring their own laptops (no tablets).

This class is supported by Datacamp (https://www.datacamp.com/) for Python programming and introductory data management exercises.

Assessment and permitted materials

The final mark will be a combination of in-class participation (20%), homework assignments (40%), and the final project (40%).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance is required, and regular participation is the key to completing the course. Assignments and the final project must be submitted on time.

Examination topics

There is no examination for the course.

Reading list

Readings and resources will be made available during the course. For orientation, please consult the Python-related lessons at: https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/
