Choose one of the Datacamp courses that you think you might be interested in. A list of suggestions follows below. Each of these courses is estimated to take about 4 hours to complete: you must complete at least half of the course you choose, and take notes while you do that. (Extra credit will be given if you complete the course you have chosen.)

Then you will write a post on the OpenLab site for this class, describing the course that you worked on and something interesting you learned in it. More detail will be given in a later post.

Please choose your course no later than Wednesday 2 May, and make a private post to me in Piazza telling me which course you have chosen. When you are choosing a course, it may help to view the video at the start of the courses (if there is one) for courses you are not sure about.

Then get to work on it, so that you don’t end up doing it all at the last minute!
