Mooc on Data Science for Business Innovation on Coursera
We just published our new MOOC “Data Science for Business Innovation” on Coursera!
Our course is available for free on Coursera and is jointly offered by Politecnico di Milano and EIT Digital, as a compendium of the must-have expertise in data science for non-technical people, including executives, middle-managers to foster data-driven innovation.
The course is an introductory, non-technical overview of the concepts of data science. You can enrol in the course online.
The course is completely free and you can enjoy content at any time, with professional English speakers and animated, engaging materials.
Web and Data Science course
The Web and Data Science course focuses on the study of large-scale socio-technical systems associated with the World Wide Web. It considers the relationship between people and technology, the ways that society and technology complement one another and the way they impact on broader society. These analyses are inherently associated with Big Data management issues.
The course is given in Como Campus by Marco Brambilla and Emanuele Della Valle.

EVALUATION
The exam consist in a practical part (project work) and a theoretical part (written exam with possible oral discussion).
The practical part consist in solving a realistic problem in web science / data science, based on real or realistic dataset publicly available , accessible via Web API, or provided by the teachers. 40% of the grade of this course is granted based on the evaluation of a project work.
The written exam is composed of a mix of theoretical questions regarding any of the course subjects, and excercises, regarding the technical content and how to apply it in practice.
The oral examination consists of a discussion about the written test and the practical part of the exam. It can include also questions on any subject of the course.
