Everyone has to start someplace! A "quick start" in data science isn't a contradiction in terms! This course is for beginners.

Students will learn to get started with Data Science, quick. This course will teach the rudiments of two topics.

• First, it will teach correlation analysis.

• Second, it will teach Python.

There are knowledge checks to help students assess their own learning.

There is also a capstone experience. The capstone experience will ask students to implement correlation analysis from scratch in Python. There are no prerequisites.

This course does not require software installation.

More about the suggested roadmap: The Road To A Quick Start In Data Science

1. Learn, or re-learn to execute correlation analysis from scratch.

2. Learn a few simple coding techniques.

3. Execute correlation analysis from scratch in python.

4. Keep going! If that is what you want. Don’t look back.

Once you finish with these four steps, there will be more work ahead. Inside this course are guides and suggestions for next steps.
