COMP2201 - 01 - Data Analytics

We are all completely inundated with data, yet only a small fraction of the population has the skillset necessary to interpret, understand, and communicate the meaning inherent within datasets. The goal of this course is to give students lifelong and lucrative skills in raw data retrieval, data cleaning, data analyses, and data visualization. Students will engage with datasets from a variety of fields and use computational, statistical, and visual methods to tell a story. Students will develop valuable technical skills focusing on programming, statistical inference, and clear communication. Additional professional skills will be developed in teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving. By the end of the class students will demonstrate a proficiency in various tools essential in the field of data science.
