Applications of Computational Methods in the Social Sciences and Humanities

What it is about

You work in interdisciplinary teams on practice-oriented data analysis or software projects that connect technical methods with societal questions. In the end you will be able to plan, implement, evaluate and document a team project as well as present results multimodally and consider ethical and contextual aspects in computing projects.

What you will be able to do

• Conceptualize, plan, design, implement and evaluate a project
• Apply methods and models from multiple disciplines
• Assess and fix risks and typical problems in data analysis and programming projects
• Consider context, culture and ethics during the project
• Communicate work and results clearly
• Improve academic and professional communication and interaction skills

What the module consists of

• TeamprojektHandling of a given task specification framework over the entire project lifecycle (planning, implementation, evaluation, documentation, dissemination)
• PräsentationenRegular presentation of interim results and outcomes in the course
• ÜbungenPractical application of methods and programming techniques in person and for homework
