This is the first course of a two-quarter capstone series. This is a capstone requirement for the B.A. in Data Science & Social Systems and a capstone option for the B.S. in Data Science. In addition, it satisfies the WIM requirement for either Data Science major. Students will work in teams of 3-4 to provide actionable recommendations and practical tools to partners, which may include government agencies, community organizations, companies, or research labs. Through this partnership, students will integrate material from their coursework, gain experience applying data science techniques to complex, real-world problems, and develop their ability to work in teams. The first quarter focuses on exploratory data analysis, ethical considerations, and problem formulation. Students must complete both DATASCI 192A and DATASCI 192B for credit. The grade for DATASCI 192A is awarded after completion of DATASCI 192B. Preference given to junior and senior Data Science B.A. and B.S. majors. This is a Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center for Public Service.
