DATA 7302OL - Real Data: Modern Methods for Finding Hidden Patterns

Online - Online Teaching 4 - 2025

This course builds upon DATA 7201OL Data Taming, to introduce advanced modern techniques for extracting meaningful information from real-world, messy datasets. The course covers methods such as generalised linear models, classification, advanced regression techniques, and unsupervised statistical learning. A particular focus will be data wrangling techniques for non-standard, big, ?messy data?: natural language processing, networks and longitudinal data. The course teaches advanced R programming techniques for data science.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    1. create a predictive model for classification (predict classes) from real data using the TidyModels package in R
    2. create a predictive model for regression (predict numbers) from real data using the TidyModels package in R
    3. identify when predictive modelling is not giving accurate predictions due to overfitting
    4. apply cross-validation to avoid overfitting
    5. contrast the performance of prediction models to assess their viability
    6. analyse unsupervised data to find the patterns and represent the patterns visually
    7. communicate results of the interpretation and analysis of predictive modelling.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
