Teaching Interests

The PWS470 course I teach is supported by DataCamp ( https://www.datacamp.com/home ) the most intuitive learning platform for data science. We use it for R and Shell instruction through a combination of short expert videos and hands-on-the-keyboard exercises. Additional resources are available for other purposes, including Python and SQL training. Take over 100+ courses by expert instructors on topics such as importing data, data visualization or machine learning and learn faster through immediate and personalised feedback on every exercise.
