The Module

Group support for ST309 Elementary Data Analytics at LSE

Introduces data analytics for business, finance and social-science problems using R. Students learn to extract information from data through exploratory analysis, statistical modelling, prediction, classification and practical case-based applications.

Our ST309 group sessions are designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work.

Because everyone in the group is studying the same LSE module, sessions stay closely focused on the particular methods, notation and types of question students encounter in ST309.

What students often find difficult
  • Understanding the main concepts without losing sight of the bigger picture
  • Applying the theory to problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions
  • Knowing how much detail is expected in assessed answers
  • Building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative

Working in a small group also gives students the opportunity to see how others approach the same problem and to learn from questions they may not have thought to ask themselves.

How the sessions can help
  • Reviewing the intuition behind the core methods
  • Working through problem sets step by step
  • Interpreting output, results and applied examples
  • Building confidence with exam-style questions
  • Focusing on the exact parts of ST309 that the group finds unclear

The aim is not simply to work through solutions, but to make sure students understand the methods well enough to apply them independently.

Topics we can cover

R programming
Exploratory data analysis
Statistical modelling
Prediction
Classification
Business, finance and social-science cases

The precise content of each session can be adapted to what the group is currently covering at LSE.
