In this course, students will learn the foundational concepts of data mining (extracting patterns from data) and data wrangling (collecting, extracting, transforming, and cleaning data into a form usable for further analysis). They will be taught fundamental data mining and wrangling techniques and will be exposed to various real-world applications. Moreover, students will acquire the basic skills to identify specific data needs of clients on top of learning the more technical/computational data mining skills. The course will also train students on extracting data from various sources: the web, APIs, and databases, in addition to dealing with datasets in various formats.
