UCL Learning Portfolio

This is a one hour demonstration session that introduces you to the variety of tools that are available for analysing data for your project, thesis or dissertation. We will look at the advantages and disadvantages of software like SPSS, Stata, R, Python and MATLAB.

This is a one-hour demonstration session delivered remotely.

The focus will be on choosing the appropriate tool, acquiring the necessary skills and selecting and managing a software platform. We will also look at less commonly considered issues including collaboration and version control, reproducible research and literate data analysis.

Although this is primarily a demonstration students may wish to have a laptop to bookmark the tools we introduce.
