Course overview
The purpose of this course is to help you further develop your data science skills and knowledge, as well as demonstrate autonomy, initiative and accountability by completing a medium-scale data science project using real-world datasets. This project will entail assessing, selecting and applying relevant data science techniques, principles and theory to a data science problem. You will consider the nature of your data and identify any social or ethical concerns, as well as appropriate ethical frameworks for data management. As part of this learning experience, you will develop, hone and demonstrate your professional communicative competence.
