I must go with the class I am a teaching assistant for: INFO 2950 – Introduction to Data Science. I have many favorite things about this class. The first was the coding assignments. I had a lot of fun sharpening my programming skills, parsing data sets, and conducting statistical tests and interpreting them.

I also loved the interdisciplinary aspect of the class. Apart from just learning programming, we learned about best practices in the field, common interview questions, and how to create a professional data science project that could be presented to employers. As a teaching assistant for this class, I want to try my best to ensure that students this semester have the same positive experience that I had.

What is your favorite class so far and why?
