Module Description¶
The goal of this module is to introduce the fundamentals of data manipulation, privacy, and ethical considerations in the context of social sciences and data science. Students will explore how data is generated, processed, and regulated while gaining practical skills such as file handling, sampling, and data manipulation. Through lectures, discussions, and labs, students will learn about privacy regulations, ethical concerns, and the role of data in shaping society. Case studies and hands-on projects will provide opportunities to apply technical skills and reflect on the broader implications of data use.
