Beginners Data Analytics Course?? 5 points, 4 comments

u/CramerzRule: “What program are you in?”

u/Olafian-Bot: “Take AFM 344 - Business Analytics， which is essentially a data analytics course. When I took it, we learned data analysis and visualization using IDEA and Tableau. We also learned some basic Python to web scrape. There is also no final which is nice.”

u/NewPoorDoge: “Definitely AFM 344, currently a TA for the course, probably one of the most useful AFM course in the university, let me know if you have any further questions”
