Data Science is not taught at Universities – Here's why

• nabla9 10y ago
  >Universities focus on machine learning techniques (i.e. the Modelling phase only) because this is the cool stuff. They do not want to engage in researching and teaching the much more important Data Preparation process because it looks so uncool in comparison. This is bullshit. You can teach any code monkey to do data preparation and code massage. Just add come introductory level courses or workplaces can do it by themselves. To train data scientist with PhD who can make sense of data and build reliable models takes time.
