Introduction

This class will offer a basic introduction to the practical use of statistical computing tools to conduct statistical analyses. It will offer an overview of the use of the Stata statistical language, and also some introduction to Excel. This is not a required class.

Online learning

In 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 outbreak we shifted this class online, and discovered that students learnt considerably more, and it was easier to cover more material and give more detailed instruction. So we will be teaching online this year too. It is better than physical teaching! The zoom link will be posted on manaba and will be a recurring meeting every week.

 

Teachers

Teacher: Stuart Gilmour

Teaching assistants: July Khin Maung Soe, Md Mahfuzur Rahman, Hellen Babu

 

The teaching style for this class is a mixture of lectures and practicum. In practice this means we split the class into three zoom breakout rooms, and assign everyone to a breakout room. When you have a question you go into this room a TA follows you, and you can discuss your problem with them. Important issues that arise in breakout rooms will be shared with the whole class in the main zoom room, by sharing screens and talking through issues.

 

A note on Zoom use

Because we need to share students’ screens with the TA and the professor, it is important that you be using Stata on the same computer on which you use Zoom. Please make sure that you follow this principle throughout the course. This is particularly important if you choose to use the Media Room using your own laptop!

 

Text book

No text book is required for this class.

 

Class times: 6pm – 8:30 pm on Wednesday. The actual class is scheduled to start at 18:10, but we open the zoom meeting at 6pm so we can catch up for 10 minutes before it starts.

 

Assessment

90% homework assignments (4)

10% Lecture attendance

 

Assignment deadlines and schedules will change depending on the speed at which people are doing them. assignments are conducted, in principle, during class time, as practical work, but of course you are welcome to take extra time for them outside of class if you want.
