Annotation

Computer data processing has become a methodological prerequisite for the vast majority of scientific fields, including the humanities and social sciences. The teaching takes place in the form of illustrative examples and guides students from the very basics of working with data to solving practical problems using tools implemented in the R software environment.

This course does not assume any previous knowledge of programming and is intended primarily for students of humanities and social sciences, at any level (Bc/Mgr/PhD).
