The module is also not available to students who have taken POLS0008 and subsequently left the BA Geography with Social Data Science pathway, as it repeats a lot of content from that module. It is also not available to students who have taken, or are enrolled on, GEOG0162 and GEOG0030

Description

This module is for students who want to understand what data science is, and how it can be used to answer important questions about the social world. No knowledge of mathematics or statistics is required: the module introduces data science techniques in an accessible way, making it suitable for students from all disciplinary backgrounds. It integrates data analysis with a 鈥榙ata storytelling鈥� approach that focuses on communicating findings from data using creative visualisations and journalistic techniques. Students will leave the module empowered to apply, interpret and critically analyse statistical methods. They will become better researchers and more informed citizens, but also confident and effective communicators of the insights from data. The course content includes the basic tools of data science 鈥� describing and visualising data and uncovering patterns 鈥� as well as how to implement them through coding. This material is interwoven with instruction in a series of techniques to communicate the results of data analysis in compelling ways, both verbally and visually.
