| Course frequency | Every fall sem. |
| Lecturers | Daniel Höhmann (daniel.hoehmann@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | The tutorial will primarily serve to deepen the understanding of the principles and methods introduced during the course "Research Methods in Social and Political Science". In particular, the tutorials will give you a thorough introduction to R and illustrate how the different concepts and models introduced during the lecture can be implemented in R. |
| Comments | Participation in the tutorials is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. Particularly, if this is your first statistics class or if you have no prior experience with R, please use this opportunity to ask questions and to practice what you have learned during the lecture. The lab sessions are very important for your personal progress and for your ability to complete the problem sets (and to work with R, as the first three weeks in the lab sessions are used to bring students up to speed with that software). Students studying political science are required to go to the lab sessions, which earns them an extra 2 credit points. The first session of the tutorial will be held via Zoom. This session will serve as an information session for all interested students. Please take not that you will have to decide at the end of this session whether you will continue with the seminar for the rest of the term. Since we have only a limited number of places due to Corona restrictions, we want to make sure that places in the tutorial are not blocked by people who will not take part for the full semester. Priority will be given to students of Political Science. If there are more students than places in this first session, we will distribute the places according the date of registration to the course in Mona. |
