Schedule

In this Applied Data Analytics training program, participants will work in teams to define and complete a project related to career pathways for doctoral recipients. The program will provide up-to-date perspectives and hands-on instructions on using micro data in SQL and R for tasks such as data management, record linkage, data visualization, and machine learning.

The goal of the Applied Data Analytics program is to help professionals develop key data science skills necessary to work with confidential data. The curriculum draws on the second edition of Big Data and Social Science: A Practical Guide to Methods and Tools. The program is delivered through a mix of online materials that participants can review at their own pace, interactive lectures, and prepared materials provided using Jupyter Notebooks. Participants will be grouped into small teams where they will apply the skills learned in the training course to develop and complete a project to be presented in the final meeting. This work will be guided by the Project Template starting in Module 2.
