SAS for Beginners: Data Management and Exploration

Catalog description

This 5-session (2 hours per session), 1-credit course will introduce students to Statistical Analysis System (SAS®) software and provide an opportunity to gain basic knowledge of this commonly-used software by working with data from the real-word (e.g. data related to the COVID-19 outbreak). The course will cover data management, descriptive analysis, and data visualization. Students will complete problem sets after each class to reinforce skills introduced during that class, create a fact sheet as a culminating assignment that requires students to analyze the real-word public health data and present their findings. All the learning materials will be taught and performed using SAS standard version (version 9.4) and SAS OnDemand for Academics.
