BMS109 - Data Handling R coding -- Lecturer: Dr Marta Milo
Semester 1A – Level 1 Biomedical Science 2019/2020
This module aims to provide an understanding of how to explore data using a programming language. In particular we will use R language to manipulate, explore and visualise data. These sessions are designed at a very introductonary level, thus any extra reading/coding you might want to add, will further support you during your degree and beyond when you face analysis of data.
Teaching will be perforned in a multidisciplinary approach, where concepts are directly embedded in the practical implementation of the tasks to solve, using programming tools implemented in R language. Detailed examples will be introduced in the lectures that consists in practical sessions guided by the lecturer with teh support of the demostrators. YOu will implemented the exercise on the computer during the sessions, creating a report with a sets of instructions, called "script". Scripts are your laboratory books for these sessions and will provide you with a guide for data analysis and for any further training you might wish to take.
The teaching consists of five practical sessions of 1.5 hour from week 2 to week 6.
Given the complexity of the time table this academic year, please make sure you check on Blackboard(MOLE) for the correct location, time of practicals and your group allocation.
