Cíle předmětu
This course aims to introduce students to the R programming language. The course is intended to give students a gentle push towards the path of programming, which may either take them towards a more data driven approach in their MA studies, or towards careers that mix insight from the humanities and programming and/or data analysis, such as technical writing. By the end of the course, the students will be acquainted with the fundamentals of R, version control with Github, the basics of computational analysis of text, R Markdown as a markup language, and how to create a website in R Studio with the "blogdown" package. Moreover, the students will begin to think about the application of quantitative approaches to the study of literature and will acquire the necessary knowledge to continue independent work and further develop their programming skills according to their academic or professional needs.

Metody hodnocení
Grades will be based on the following percentages:
Class Participation 10%
Quizzes (2) 10%
Assignments (3) 30%
Final Project 50%

The quizzes are aimed at testing the practical knowledge of R and tidyverse functionality and will be concentrated in the early stages of the course. The assignments will consist of certain problems that will require critical thinking and applying the skills acquired in the first five weeks of the course. The final project will be a small research project (5-6 pages including the sources and visualizations) that should be sent to me as an R Markdown PDF file at the end of the semester. Students can choose any of the techniques covered in the course, and apply them on a topic of their choosing. This should be discussed with me in advance, in order to ensure feasibility of the study and availability of the data.

Letter grade distribution: ≤59 F, 60-69 E, 70-75 D, 76-79 C, 80-85 B, >= 86 A
