Competencies

You will understand basic concepts of programming languages and be able to explain and apply the key elements of scientific data analysis. You will develop the methodological skills needed to plan an analysis concept for your own data (e.g., as part of a thesis) and to statistically evaluate data using a scientific programming language.

Content of teaching

This module offers you the opportunity to acquire basic programming skills for analyzing your own research data. In course I, you will acquire an understanding of the basic concepts of scientific programming languages (e.g., Matlab, Python). You will gradually learn the elementary structures and language definitions common to all programming languages. In course II, you will apply the acquired basic programming skills to the analysis of sample data sets from the field of movement science. You will learn how to import, prepare, analyze, visualize, and statistically evaluate this data. You will also learn how to automate these analysis processes and objectify data analysis.
