- Elementary probability theory, in particular: concepts of probability and random variables, distribution functions, expectation and variance, basics of hypothesis testing. Linear regression models. - Completing the module "Einführung in die qualitativen Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung" by Prof. Dr. Robert Nuscheler is recommended but not required. - For this course, students are required to bring a laptop to the lectures and tutorials. If they do not have their own, it is possible to rent one from ZEBRA. |
| Lernorganisation | In addition to the content covered in the lecture, the exercise sessions combine interactive in-person tutorials with online R tutorials. These sessions focus on solving exam-relevant problems collaboratively, with a strong emphasis on group work to deepen understanding and practice application. Active participation by students during the lectures, and especially in the tutorials, is expected and required. Furthermore, students may voluntarily work on and submit “Challenges” — take-home exercises in R — which provide the opportunity to earn bonus points for the final exam (Please note that bonus points cannot turn a failing exam into a passing one, and the top grade (1.0) can be achieved without any bonus points). |
