Python Fundamentals: Parts 1-4

October 11, 2022, 3:00pm to October 20, 2022, 6:00pm

This four-part, interactive workshop series is your complete introduction to programming Python for people with little or no previous programming experience. By the end of the series, you will be able to apply your knowledge of basic principles of programming and data manipulation  to a real-world social science application.

Python Deep Learning: Parts 1-2

October 17, 2022, 2:00pm to October 19, 2022, 5:00pm

The goal of this workshop is to build intuition for deep learning by building, training, and testing models in Python. Rather than a theory-centered approach, we will evaluate deep learning models through empirical results.

R Fundamentals: Parts 1-4

October 18, 2022, 1:00pm to October 27, 2022, 4:00pm

This workshop is a four-part introductory series that will teach you R from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the open-sourced R Studio software, understand data and basic manipulations, import and subset data, explore and visualize data, and understand the basics of automation in the form of loops and functions. After completion of this workshop you will have a foundational understanding to create, organize, and utilize workflows for your personal research.

Bash + Git: Introduction

October 19, 2022, 2:00pm to 5:00pm

This workshop will start by introducing you to navigating your computer’s file system and basic Bash commands to remove the fear of working with the command line and to give you the confidence to use it to increase your productivity. You will learn to use Bash and Git together to synchronize your work across computers, collaborate with others, and even deploy applications to the cloud. In this workshop, you will learn the basics to understand and use Git, including working with the popular “social coding” website, GitHub where you can keep a private backup copy of your code or choose to publish it to the world. 

Qualtrics Fundamentals

October 19, 2022, 5:00pm to 8:00pm

Qualtrics is a powerful online tool available to Berkeley community members that can be used for a range of data collection activities. Primarily, Qualtrics is designed to make web surveys easy to write, test, and implement, but the software can be used for data entry, training, quality control, evaluation, market research, pre/post-event feedback, and other uses with some creativity.

Python Data Wrangling and Manipulation with Pandas

October 24, 2022, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

Pandas is a Python package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with ‘relational’ or ‘labeled’ data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. In this workshop, we’ll work with example data and go through the various steps you might need to prepare data for analysis.

Python Visualization

October 26, 2022, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

For this workshop, we’ll provide an introduction to visualization with Python. We’ll cover visualization theory and plotting with Matplotlib and Seaborn, working through examples in a Jupyter notebook.
