Lernmethoden
The goal of the course is to get to know data thinking as an innovation method. It is about analyzing business potentials, implementing the findings and understanding how an expert data scientist approaches data problems. Therefore, you can appreciate the AI and ask the right questions to understand a data scientist's technique well. Moreover, you will use machine learning on explicit examples by small coding challenges with Python. Basic knowledge of Python Programming is not required to attend this course.You will learn all the needed skills there.
Sessions will consist of lectures, discussion and and case work. There will also be a group project due for hand-in and presentation (presentation is on the last class day). Case work and project specifications will be explained, and groups will be assigned, at the beginning of the course.
