OLET1603: Analysing and Plotting Data: Python
2023 unit information
This unit is a gentle on-line OLE introduction into coding using the popular script language Python for students who do not receive these skills in junior units of study. Through working with examples in on-line exercises, regular assessment and support hours, the students will develop hands-on skills. In particular the unit will teach analysis of text based data, numerical data and categorical data, constructing plots and developing summaries. Note that the unit runs in the intensive August teaching period.
