Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is designed to equip students with the skills necessary to understand the vast potential of digital methods in the humanities, using the Python programming language. The course will introduce basic programming concepts, including:

- Data types
- Control structures
- Functions
- Collections, primarily lists, sets, and dictionaries
- Object-oriented programming
- Input/Output operations (I/O)
- Modules
- Regular expressions
- Data frames

This course aims to enable students in the Digital Humanities to further explore tools and methods within their specialized domains using Python.

Students are expected to be familiar with digital environments, but previous programming experience is not required.

A tutorial is offered alongside this exercise, and we strongly recommend attending the tutorial as well.

Assessment and permitted materials

Course evaluation will consist of a combination of in-class participation (15%), weekly homework assignments (70%), and a small project at the end. In this project, students will explore additional Python tools relevant to their specialized domain and write a brief report (15%).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance is required; regular participation is the key to completing the course; all students must provide their computing environment; homework assignments must be submitted on time (some can be completed later as a part of the final project, but this must be discussed with the instructor whenever the issue arises); the final project must be submitted on time.
