Executive Data Science Capstone

Johns Hopkins University via Coursera

Overview

The Executive Data Science Capstone, the specialization’s culminating project, is an opportunity for people who have completed all four EDS courses to apply what they've learned to a real-world scenario developed in collaboration with Zillow, a data-driven online real estate and rental marketplace, and DataCamp, a web-based platform for data science programming. Your task will be to lead a virtual data science team and make key decisions along the way to demonstrate that you have what it takes to shepherd a complex analysis project from start to finish. For the final project, you will prepare and submit a presentation, which will be evaluated and graded by your fellow capstone participants. Course cover image by Luckey_sun.

  • This one ends Executive Data Science Specialization (very good, recommend!) and is, well, more funny than informative. However – worth trying. It's made a bit different than any other course you know ;)
  • I find this concluding course a rather enjoyable experience, and provides a nice situational example of how data science can be useful in practice.
