MODULES - 5

  • What is Data Science?

    Students will learn about the role of a data scientist and the iterative steps in the data science life cycle. This module serves as an introduction to the field of data science.

  • The Data Science Life Cycle

    Students will learn and apply the process of the data science life cycle. This includes asking statistical questions, collecting or obtaining reliable raw data, analyzing the data, and summarizing the results.

  • Data Ethics

    Students will explore ethical considerations in the field of data science. This module focuses on teaching students about data privacy and how to work with data responsibly.

  • Data Storytelling

    In this module, Students will use and analyze data to tell a data story. For their final project, they will create a visually appealing infographic that displays important data visualizations. The infographic will also tell a story based on their interpretation after exploring, analyzing, and visualizing the data.

  • What's Next?

    Students will explore the next chapter in learning about data science and the careers that are available and growing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do students need to program in this course?

No. This is the spreadsheet-based data science course. Students work through the Data Science Life Cycle using spreadsheets rather than writing code, which makes it usable in classes where nobody has programmed before.

What does the course cover?

What data science is, the Data Science Life Cycle, data ethics, and data storytelling, closing with a What's Next? unit.

What is the goal of the course?

Using the Data Science Life Cycle responsibly to deliver meaningful and accessible information. Ethics and accessibility are treated as part of the method rather than an add-on: there is a dedicated Data Ethics unit.

How long does it take?

About 20 contact hours, sized to run over a month rather than a term.

How is this different from the Python data science courses?

Same life cycle, no code. Data Science with Python (Month) is the same length but works in Python; the full Data Science with Python is 85 hours and adds statistical modelling with Python libraries. This one uses spreadsheets throughout.
