Data Analysis Real World

Catalog description

This course is designed to provide students an opportunity to apply data analytics in a real world context. Students will learn to conduct a complete data analytics project, including understanding the context; collecting, organizing, visualizing, and analyzing the data; and communicating the findings to the client. Analysis will be supported using statistical software, including R. Because its overarching goals align closely with the university's ChangeLab program, this course may be offered as a ChangeLab course. Because the topics (and thus the necessary statistical tools) will vary with each offering, this course may be repeated. Prerequisite: STAT-266.
