What is science, and how do you know if you’re doing scientific research or not when investigating something?
In this course, we cover the basics of science, by looking at those methods and strategies that researchers in informatics use. This includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. And we don’t only look at theory, we also make sure to train both the collection and analysis of data in a number of practical exercises, to really understand what science is actually all about.
