LEARNING OUTCOMES This course will equip students with the basic skills to evaluate and carry out their own research in linguistics. On completion of the course a passing student will be able to:
INSTRUCTIONTeaching consists of lectures, computer labs and project work. For computer labs and project work students are encouraged to work collaboratively on problems, but assessable work must be written up individually. The teaching method will be interactive and involve group work. Working groups will provide overviews and questions about the learned content along the course. No prior experience in computer programming is assumed. Students are encouraged to bring their own computer to use for exercises during the class. The computers of the lab may also be used upon request.
ASSESSMENTThe assessment has two parts: exercises carried out in class (overviews and questions about learned knowledge), and a final project . To pass the course a passing grade in both parts is required. In the final project (1000-1500 words), the student should formulate a research question based on the dataset provided by the instructor and use R to visualize and analyze the data. The final project should include text description of each code along with its output. The final project should be submitted via Student Portal before Friday 14.6.2019 at 23.00. The grades used are U, G, and VG. Please read the rules about cheating and plagiarism. Delayed course work without a permit will only receive grades U or G, without written feedback.
