Hey everyone, this has been a wonderful semester for me! Next week we’ll spend time during lecture talking about next steps in data science. But I’d like for you to spend some time doing that as well for this homework assignment.
Task 1: Data Science Careers (5 pts)
Look around the internet for data science-related job postings. Pick three that are appealing to you and write a paragraph about why you’re interested in them (one paragraph for all three). Include a screen capture of each job posting.
Task 2: Highs and Lows (5 pts)
This is the second time I’m offering this course … it’s the first official data science course offered at McGill, in fact… thank you for being part of this first offering! I know that I’ll get feedback in the official course feedback system, but I’d appreciate hearing from you on a couple specific points:
- What were the highlights of the class for you?
- What could have been done better? How?
- How did this course impact the future you see for yourself (if at all)?
o A couple of you have shared how this helped you in job interviews or land internships. I’d LOVE to hear these anecdotes if you’re willing to share.
