Students would learn about commonly used practices by data science professionals. Below is an outline of what students could expect to cover during each week. As this is a highly condensed course, students may also be asked to do extra reading outside of their tutorial sessions in order to practise what they have learnt, and to gain a firm understanding of key concepts.
What does a data scientist do?
Typical workflow patterns
Tech and software used
Approach to business problems
What is machine learning?
What is a model?
Supervised vs Unsupervised ML
Regression vs Classification
What the typical workflow of a data scientist is, the software and technologies used, including common approaches to business problems.
What machine learning is and an intuitive understanding of what “a model” represents. This will follow with examples of supervised and unsupervised learning, and understanding the differences and use cases for regression and classification models.
Variables:
independent, dependent
continuous vs categorical
Common statistics:
mean, median, mode (when to use which?)
variance, standard deviation
covariance, correlation
What variables are; the difference between independent and dependent variables; continuous, categorical and ordinal variables.
An intuitive understanding of common statistics, such as mean, median, mode (and when to use which), variance, standard deviation, covariance and correlation.
Command line interface (intro)
Github (intro)
Jupyter notebooks (intro and orientation)
Python
Datatypes: int, float, dict, list, str, Bool, tuple, set
Loops (for, while, list comprehensions) and if/elif/else statements
An introduction to the common tech stack used by data scientists, including an introduction to the command line interface, Github version control, and Jupyter notebooks.
An introduction to Python, including the datatypes available (eg int, float, dict, list, str, Booleans, tuples and sets), use of conditional statements (if, elif, else) and iterating using loops (for, while, and list comprehensions).
