Introduction to Data Science at Columbia University by Dr. Rachel Schutt.
The link points to a blog for the course. Includes entries for the same class last year.
Search for “INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE VERSION 2.0” and that should put you out at the first class for Fall 2013.
Personally I would read the entries for 2012 as well.
Hard to know when a chance remark from a student will provoke new ideas from other students or even professors.
That is one the things I like the most about teaching, being challenged by insights and views that hadn’t occurred to me.
Not that I always agree with them but it is a nice break from talking to myself. 😉
I first saw this at: Columbia Intro to Data Science 2.0.
