Data Sourcing
Get the raw materials you need for data science
Without data there can be no data science. This course provides a concise overview of the most important techniques and tools in data science for getting the critical raw materials. You'll be introduced to methods from both computer science, such as APIs and web scraping, and the social sciences, such as surveys and interviews. You'll get a foundation – and an appreciation – for the creative work involved in starting your data science projects.
