In this module, you will learn what data scientists do when their tasks and goals are to understand, prepare, and clean the data. You’ll examine the purposes, characteristics, and goals of the data modeling process. You’ll also explore how to prepare a data set by handling missing, invalid, or misleading data. Then check out the hands-on labs where you can gain experience completing tasks relevant to the Data Understanding, Data Preparation, and Modeling and Evaluation stages. You’ll be able to apply the skills you learn to future data science problems.

When you complete this module, you’ll be able to describe the deployment and feedback stages of the data science methodology. You’ll learn how to assess a data model’s performance, impact, and readiness. You’ll be able to identify the stakeholders who usually contribute to model refinement. You’ll also be able to explain why deployment and feedback should be an iterative process.To complete your hands-on lab experience, you’ll devise a business problem to solve using data related to email, hospitals, or credit cards. You’ll demonstrate your understanding of data science methodology by applying it to a given problem. You’ll construct responses that address each phase of the CRISP-DM based on a chosen business problem. After submitting your work, your submission will be AI-graded, providing fast, precise, and constructive feedback.

Before completing your final project, learn how CRISP-DM data science methodology compares to John Rollins’ foundational data science methodology. Then, apply what you learned to complete an AI-graded assignment using CRISP-DM data science methodology to solve a business problem you define. You'll first take on both the client and data scientist role and describe how you would apply CRISP-DM data science methodology to solve the business problem. Then, take on the role of a data scientist and apply your knowledge of CRISP-DM data methodology stages to describe how you would solve the business problem. After you submit your assignment, your submission will be AI-graded, providing fast, precise, and constructive feedback. Let's get started!
