Data Science Practicum

Catalog description

This course provides students with the experience of working on a team in a professional setting to tackle large-scale data analysis projects using real-world data sets provided by industry, academic researchers, and the government. Students are given access to data sets and directed questions and must apply the theory and practices from previous coursework to propose and evaluate hypotheses. Students will hone skills required for visualizing, summarizing, and presenting results to technical and lay audiences. Projects end with teams presenting their results to their clients both verbally and in a structured technical document.
