What is it
This week, I started the Data Analysis and Interpretation Capstone
by Wesleyan University on Coursera. This is the final of 5 course specialisation. The capstone project is expected to take 4 weeks. With each week tackling and doing a major component of the Project work.
What is the objective
The objective of this capstone project is to allow the candidate to continue to apply and refine the data analytic techniques learned from the previous courses in the Specialization to address an important issue in society. Hence it helps us to hone our skills further to solving real world problems and scenarios.
Data given
In this project, we are given the chance to work with industry partners like the Connection (www.theconnectioninc.org) and DRIVENDATA (www.drivendata.org). We are also given access to work on leading world organisations like the World Bank. I chose to work with data on World Bank due to the impact World Bank is making globally.
I am already loving the course and capstone project as I am beginning to appreciate and recognise the link between the previous courses we learned and how to link them to finding solutions to real world and every day issues.
Watch out for my final report upon completion of the capstone project and my final thoughts and feelings about it.
