1. ABOUT THE COURSE:
a. Brief Description:
This is a lab course involving exploration and hands-on applications of Python programming
language for statistics, analytics and machine learning. It intends to cover features relevant to
data collection, data pruning, data visualization and analytics. This lab course will build on the
programming fundamentals developed in the induction program and attempt to give more
examples (cases) and hands-on exercises. This course will also focus on specialized packages for
advanced data wrangling and analysis.
b. Teaching Learning Method:
The teaching/learning method for this course includes hands-on experience with Python using
Jupyter Notebook and Google Collab. Also, the learning includes group tasks like performing
exploratory data analysis on various datasets, individual presentations by the students on
selected topics, etc.
