Text chapters and cases will be posted on the online course website before the beginning of the course. All PowerPoints used in this course will be made available to students shortly after class.
The course work will include case studies evaluating data, writing code and making business decisions using the results. The goal of the course is not to train you as a Data Scientist but to be able to read and evaluate analytic approaches and products from reading code to evaluating potential machine-learning use cases. The course will introduce the programming language Python.

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.

The course will be either pass or fail.
