PhD+ Data Literacy in Python 3: Office Hour

Python is a popular language widely used for data analysis and machine learning. This PhD+ series will introduce students to programming in the language. The sessions will be taught in a "flipped classroom" manner: students will study learning materials prior to each session and come to online workshop sessions via Zoom for questions and receive instructors’ assistance with programming projects.  The UVA Library’s Research Data Services Team and Research Computing are partnering with UVA’s PhD Plus program to offer – Introduction to Programming in Python, a series to build data analysis skills. For Fall 2022, the participants will have access to pre-recorded lectures and the opportunity to meet with instructors during weekly "office hours" for questions and answers over Zoom. The whole series through lecturing, hands-on exercises, and discussions aims to help participants become familiar and comfortable with using Python for research activities and working with data. The live discussions will be offered every Tuesday beginning September 20 to October 18, 2022. Attendees will be expected to turn in homework assignments per session in order to get credit. Upon successful completion of this series, PhD students are eligible for a non-credit credential (PhDP 9530) in their academic transcript.  TYPICAL TOPICS  Introduction to Python Data types, data input and output, and organizing codes Data analysis and visualization SESSION DATES Tuesday, 4-5:30 PM (virtual) | Sep 20, Sep 27, Ocotber 4, October 11, October 18, 2022 INSTRUCTORS Katherine Holcomb - Computational Research Consultant Erich Purpur - Science and Engineering Librarian   Registration Registration is closed on Sep 12, 2022, after reaching the series' capacity.  Please check https://data.library.virginia.edu/training/ for more python training or enroll in Fall 2023 through PhD Plus.
