Pre-College Summer Programs and Courses

In this two-week pre-college program, students work in groups to construct and present a data analysis project which collects, organizes, cleanses, and visualizes a dataset of their choosing. Topics include exploratory data analysis, data visualization, probability distributions, data scraping and cleansing, the basics of hypothesis testing, and regression modeling. Students will primarily use Microsoft Excel. Programs like Octave (Matlab), and Octoparse, will also be introduced to help students learn the basics of data analytics. 

This online program is primarily delivered asynchronously, but students are expected to meet both daily and weekly deadlines for class assignments. Your instructor will also provide optional opportunities for synchronous sessions, such as office hours, group discussions, and supplemental lectures. Attendance for synchronous sessions is voluntary and based on students’ availability.

Prerequisite: Precalculus. (There is no programming requisite required for this course.)

Required Text: There are no required textbooks for this program; all readings and resources will be made available to you throughout the program.
