Syllabus
- Welcome to the Nanodegree Program!
- Welcome to Udacity! We're excited to share more about your Nanodegree program and start this journey with you!
- Introduction to Data Analytics
- This course establishes a framework for data analytics as a series of progressive steps starting with the data source and ending with the interpretation of results. We introduce fundamental concepts such as data analytics life cycle, data integrity, and the four types of data analytics (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive). Students who complete this course will be equipped with the skills to identify the data analytics strategy used in a given situation and where they are in the data analytics life cycle.
- Data Preparation and Modeling
- The preparation phase is the most important step in data analysis. Before data can be effectively analyzed, an effective data model is required, and creating that data model may utilize a wide range of skills. This course teaches the skills needed to load, clean, and organize data in Power Query and create relational tables in Power Query and Power BI. After completing this course, students will be able to effectively source data in Power BI and create a clean and efficient data model for analysis.
- Predictive Data Analysis
- This course introduces students to a selection of powerful tools in Power BI Desktop that can be used for predictive analysis. Concepts such as classification, regression, and forecasting are discussed in detail, and various techniques are explored with different data sets, allowing students to practice predictive data analysis with a hands-on approach. The content covered in this course can help an enterprise to understand future risk, analyze different markets or make other decisions critical to an organization.
