In order to improve the information literacy and data analysis skills of XJTLU students and staff, the Library held "Learn to Code for Data Analysis" workshop series to facilitate their scientific research process and provide potentials to make daily work more efficient. Starting from the basics, the workshops covered how to write code and query data using the powerful programming language Python. This series consists of three weekly workshops and has been completed in this Wednesday.
为了提升师生的信息素养和数据分析思维,图书馆开设了“Learn to Code for Data Analysis”系列课程,从基础出发,教授如何运用功能强大的Python语言编写代码并查询数据。本系列课程共三节,历时三周,于本周三完成了最后一节课程的教学。
Dr. Xiangyun Lu from the IBSS has been invited as the guest speaker for the three workshops. The sessions introduced python basics, and how to use Python and SQL to query data from databases. For more smooth learning and teaching, both pre-readings and pre-tests have been prepared for registered students. Moreover, each workshop has been scheduled with practice sessions and Q&A sessions, so that learners can master basic Python syntax and SQL statements through practice. For various questions raised by the learners during the practices, Dr. Lu answered them one by one.
本系列课程特邀来自商学院的卢祥匀老师倾情授课。课程介绍了python相关概念和基础语法,以及如何使用Python和SQL从数据库中查询数据。为达到更好的教学效果,卢老师在每节课前都准备了课前阅读材料以及课前测试;课堂中都安排了练习环节和问答环节,让学习者通过实践理解掌握基本的Python语法和SQL语句。对于操作过程中的各种疑问,卢老师一一进行了解答。
More than 70 students and staff signed up for each session. An undergraduate student from the School of Mathematics and Science believes that mastering a programming language is essential for her major studies. This series of workshops provided the opportunity for her to understand the basic syntax of python. After the workshops, she will further learn and attempt to apply for her Final Year Project. Other students also said that the series was of great help to their code learning; the professor delivered from easy to difficult and was very patient in answering questions after the class.
本系列课程深受欢迎,每节课程都有超过70名师生报名参加。一位来自数理学院的本科同学认为,如今掌握一门编程语言对于她的专业课学习是非常必要的。本系列课程让她了解了python的基础语法,课程结束后她会进一步学习相关内容,并准备将其应用于毕业论文的准备过程。另有其他同学表示,本系列课程对他们的代码学习有很大帮助;老师授课由浅入深,循序渐进,并且十分耐心地在课后解答了大家的问题。
In the future, the Library will continue to provide information literacy training workshops for students and staff in order to facilitate their learning, teaching and research.
未来,图书馆将继续表示开展信息素养培训课程,以助力师生的学习、教学与科研。
