Modul

The student

• Gains theoretical and methodical knowledge of social processes and structures,
• learns a script based data analysis tool (R, Stata, Python),
• gathers his/her data within an own framework and/or analyzes complex data,
• is able to present his/her work results in a precise and clear way.

Students must pass three excersise sheets within the seminar "Computer based data analysis".

The Sociology module offers students the opportunity to learn a data analysis tool (R, Stata, Python) within the framework of a two-semester course and to independently transfer this tool to a content-related question. Both the tool and the contents are determined by the lecturers. The contents can refer to the analysis of large population surveys (SOEP, Microcensus, ALLBUS), to own experiments, to own field studies or to Big Data analyses.
