Description

In this presentation we describe how we incorporated data analysis with Python in the first year laboratory course at the University of Potsdam. This transformation was implemented without considerably altering the course structure. We carefully designed Jupyter Notebooks with exercises and applied physics examples. We use these Notebooks to guide students through the fundamentals of data handling and analysis in Python while performing simple experiments. We present our approach and the developed materials. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of our intervention based on quantitative empirical studies in the lab class.
