Course Description:

Agile Data Science adapts the tools and processes of Agile Software Development. Students will learn those tools and processes in a project-based environment which will reward collaboration in small groups working toward a final data science deliverable. The project may be an analysis, a dashboard, or a competitive predictive model; suggested projects will be provided but students may propose their own. Class sessions will be a mix of lectures and active group work. The goal of the course is for students to become skilled in the collaborative and iterative nature of data science, emphasizing that these skills are best developed through hands-on practice.


Thanks for sharing this with your students!
