doing course is offered in lieu of a project, portfolio or thesis for candidates of the MS Advanced
Data Analytics degree. Requires a significant project about which students periodically report,
highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of their findings and its relevance to their interests and\/or
career goals. Students and peers discuss how their ongoing effort enriches and advances the
human condition. Submission of a final paper and presentations are required for successful
completion. <\/p>\n
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate experimental design and sampling methodologies.
2. Demonstrate appropriate use of parametric and non-parametric tests.
