  • There was the opportunity to do a lot of interesting things, and get applications to analytics. But wasn't particularly rigorous and too basic for a 4th year course. For 4th year electives in "analytics" I would have expected slightly more theory involved.

  • Good course. Great introduction to many different programing languages and query databases, with applications for business purposes. Pretty easy if you're interested in data analytics. Basic understanding of coding would be helpful, but not necessary. Handful of graded workshops. No midterm or final, instead three big projects (two group, one individual).
