We suggest that participants have a basic knowledge of statistics and data analysis, some experience with Python and PowerBI, along with basic coding/programming skills. However, we designed the courses to apply to both people with experience and without experience in these programs. We will provide resources for installing and getting started with the programs in the weeks leading up to the course. One week before the course starts, we will have an optional webinar to provide more guidance and provide direct assistance. During the course, we will provide the solutions to the exercises so that participants can choose to write the code on their own, use the solutions as hints, or use the solutions entirely and focus on the content rather than coding. We designed each course to meet the needs of students who are taking the full certificate series along with the needs of students who are taking a single course. Each course will start with a brief review of previous content for the benefit of everyone but will not go into detail. If you have any specific questions that we can answer, please email info@scl.gatech.edu and we can put you in touch with an instructor. Thank you for the comment!
