Do you ever feel you are "drinking from a hose" with the amount of data you are attempting to analyze? Have you been frustrated with the tedious steps in your data processing and analysis process and thought, "There’s gotta be a better way to do things"? Are you curious what the buzz of data science is about? If any of your answers are yes, then this course is for you.
Offered for the first time in August 2017, the goal of this course is to empower students and practitioners to spend less time wrestling with software and more time doing useful research/work.
Professional credits are available.
This course is an outcome of a NITC education project headed by Dr. Liming Wang of Portland State University. Read more about the original NITC project.
