DataCamp in this course

As a student in this course, you will receive a six month subscription to DataCamp's 'premium' materials. We will use DataCamp to reinforce your learning and assess your development. Throughout the semester, various chapters/courses will be assigned via DataCamp. I have assigned due dates to each DataCamp assignment that are aligned with course content and case studies. It is highly recommened to complete the assigned chapters by the due dates designated in your DataCamp 'classroom', but in terms of your grade the only deadline is the end of the semester.

See Syllabus for more information.
