importance in today’s data driven
world.
List some paths that can lead to
a career in data science.
Summarize advice given by
seasoned data science
professionals to data scientists
who are just starting out.
Articulate why data science is
considered the most in-demand
job in the 21st century.

the life of a data scientist looks
like.
Define some of the commonly
used terms in data science.
Summarize the impact of cloud
technologies on data science.
Identify some of the key qualities
of a successful data scientist.

Summary:

The typical work day for a Data

Scientist varies depending on
what type of project they are
working on.
Many algorithms are used to
bring out insights from data.
Accessing algorithms, tools, and
data through the Cloud enables
Data Scientists to stay up-to-date
and collaborate easily.

Week 2
Learning Objectives:

Define Big Data and its

distinguishing characteristics,
such as velocity, volume,
veracity, and value
Describe how Hadoop and other
big data tools, combined with
distributed computing power, are
triggering digital transformation.
List some of the skills required to
be a data scientist and analyze
big data. List some of the skills
required to analyze big data.
Explain what data mining is.
Summarize the importance of
establishing goals, data
selection, preprocessing,
transformation, and storage of
data in preparation for data
mining.
Explain the difference between
deep learning and machine
learning.
Describe regression and how it
might be used to predict market
behavior and trend analysis.

Big Data and Data Mining

Summary:

How Big Data is defined by the

Vs: Velocity, Volume, Variety,
Veracity, and Value.
How Hadoop and other tools,
combined with distributed
computing power, are used to
handle the demands of Big Data.
What skills are required to
analyse Big Data.
About the process of Data
Mining, and how it produces
results.

Deep Learning and Machine

Learning
Data Science is the process and
method for extracting knowledge and
insights from large volumes of
disparate data. It involves
mathematics, statistical analysis, data
visualization machine learning and
more. It could use machine learning
algorithms and deep learning models.
It's a broad term encompasses the
entire data processing methodology.

AI includes everything that allows

computers to learn how to solve
problems and make intelligent
decision.

Both AI and Data Science can involve

the use of Big Data.

Summary:

The differences between some

common Data Science terms,
including Deep Learning and
Machine Learning.
Deep Learning is a type of
Machine Learning that simulates
human decision-making using
neural networks.
Machine Learning has many
applications, from recommender
systems that provide relevant
choices for customers on
commercial websites, to detailed
analysis of financial markets.
How to use regression to analyze
data.

Week 3

Learning Objectives:

Describe the application of data

science in healthcare.
Explain how companies can start
on their data science journey.
Describe some of the ways in
which data is generated by
consumers.
Describe how businesses such
as Netflix, Amazon, UPS,
Google, and Apple are using
data generated by their
consumers and employees.
Compare some of the qualities
that differentiate data scientists
from qualities of other data
professionals.
Articulate the purpose of the final
deliverable of a data science
project and the role of storytelling
in the final deliverable.
Describe what the final report of
a Data Science project should
cover and how it should be
structured for best results.
Demonstrate your understanding
of data science by articulating
what data scientists do and what
a data science report contains.
Evaluate assignments submitted
by fellow learners. Award points,
provide constructive feedback,
and offer ideas and suggestions
that fellow learners can apply
right away.

Data Science and Business

Reading The Final Deliverable about
United States Economic Forecast by
Deloitte 2014.

More on US Economic Forecast.

Summary:

Data Science helps physicians

provide the best treatment for
their patients, and helps
meteorologists predict the extent
of local weather events, and can
even help predict natural
disasters like earthquakes and
tornadoes.
That companies can start on their
data science journey by
capturing data. Once they have
data, they can begin analysing it.
Some ways that data is
generated by consumers.
How businesses like Netflix,
Amazon, UPs, Google, and
Apple use the data generated by
their consumers and employees.
The purpose of the final
deliverable of a Data Science
project is to communicate new
information and insights from the
data analysis to key decision-
makers.

Careers and Recruiting in

Data Science
Data Scientists need
programming, mathematics, and
database skills, many of which
can be gained through self-
learning.
Companies recruiting for a Data
Science team need to
understand the variety of
different roles Data Scientists
can play, and look for soft skills
like storytelling and relationship
building as well as technical
skills.
High school students considering
a career in Data Science should
learn programming, math,
databases, and, most importantly
practice their skills.

The Report Structure

The length and content of the
final report will vary depending
on the needs of the project.
The structure of the final report
for a Data Science project should
include a cover page, table of
contents, executive summary,
detailed contents,
acknowledgements, references
and appendices.
The report should present a
thorough analysis of the data and
communicate the project
findings.
