Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course offers an introduction to the modern data science methods that are useful for both research and industrial careers. The main focus of the course is to teach students to find data on the Internet, to process it and to perform a simple data analysis. Students are trained to develop critical thinking and to apply the scientific approach to problem solving. The course starts from the basics of working with data. Students will be taught to perform a basic data analysis in Google Sheets. Students will learn how to sort and filter data, to calculate various distribution characteristics and to create graphs and charts in accordance with the standards of their design. A part of the course also concerns the main methods of data storage and its usage. Students will learn the main methods that lead to scientific results of the analysis in humanities such as time series and linear regression analyses. Students will learn to apply all these techniques in Google Sheets.
