I consider my course a thorough course. You really learn a lot of theory. This is usually what makes students at my university drop the course after two weeks of auditing. Just because the course assumes no prior CS contents (anything really, except high school math), does not mean they don't get introduced.
- OJFord 7y agoOh I wasn't suggesting anything against the quality or content of your course - perhaps I misunderstood the comment I replied to, but I took it as: > High schoolers are really just doing some web course and then getting data scientist jobs? so my response was: > No - or at least this isn't evidence of that - the author is a postgraduate student and the target audience appears to be other graduates/university students.
- webartifex 7y agoI hope there are no companies that hire a "data scientist" that only speaks HTML :) The course aims at students of business administration. What do they usually do? Maximize some profit function. So, my background is really more traditional Operations Research.
