DS180 CM - Advanced Projects in Data Science

This course allows teams of students to wrestle with real-world problems in data science. Students will identify data sets to work with, evaluate the quality of these data sets, manipulate data, provide summary statistics, and conduct a preliminary analysis using these data sets. Corporations, non-profit agencies, or individual researchers will sponsor projects for teams of students to undertake over the course of a semester. Students will work in groups to produce data-driven analyses and sophisticated reports to satisfy the sponsor’s requirements. This course serves as the capstone experience for the Data Science sequence. Specific topics vary by instructor.
