The course will address the essential elements to develop programming skills with Python. In particular, the goal is to incorporate Python as a toolbox for quantitative research in the social sciences. This introduction will focus on data management and lay the foundation for training students in data science. Basic programming concepts such as data structures, defining functions, and working with essential specialized libraries for working with data, especially Numpy and Pandas, will be taught.
This course is intended for social science students and professionals with no prior experience with programming languages or who have just started using statistical programs such as Stata and have found it attractive to interact with data through code. Ultimately, this course seeks to prepare students for the job market by providing highly demanded skills, which will prepare them for a first job or internship that involves data science.
The course aims to familiarize and develop with Python so that students can autonomously use data science tools in their research and future job positions. At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Interact with Python through Jupyter notebooks and master Markdown writing.
- Write code that solves daily data analysis tasks.
- Github
- Listas, Diccionarios, Numpy
- Pandas
- If condition, loop
- Funciones and Clases I
- Clases 2
Classes will be given synchronously using Zoom. In exploring the use of Python for data analysis, the use of databases for the social sciences will be emphasized.
The evaluation will consist of 5 projects. The minimum grade will be deleted.
| N° | Project | Weighting on Final Grade | Date | due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Assignment 1 | 20% | 13/08/2024 | 20/07/2024 |
| 2 | Assignment 2 | 20% | 20/08/2024 | 03/08/2024 |
| 3 | Assignment 3 | 20% | 03/08/2024 | 10/08/2024 |
| 4 | Assignment 4 | 20% | 10/08/2024 | 17/08/2024 |
This course will not have a mandatory bibliography. Python is a widely supported language with extensive documentation and a very large community that supports each other through Stack Overflow and other forums. For this reason, the class notes will be the primary reference material of the course.
