📂 Project: Teaching
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal:

The session aimed to develop and refine educational exercises for a Data Science course, focusing on data visualization, exploratory data analysis, and storytelling with data.

Key Activities:

  1. Creation of Scientific Graphs with Matplotlib: Developed exercises for students to create high-quality scientific graphs using Matplotlib and Zipf’s law, focusing on log-log scale visualization.
  2. Exploratory Data Analysis Report: Guided students in selecting open datasets, documenting them, and performing exploratory data analysis (EDA) using Python and Markdown in Jupyter Notebook.
  3. Data Storytelling Exercise: Designed a workshop for students to create narratives with data, using relevant topics like climate change and COVID-19, emphasizing the importance of storytelling in data visualization.
  4. Course Evaluation: Conducted a detailed analysis of the Data Science course structure and content, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
  5. Probability and Statistics Module Evaluation: Reviewed the Probability and Statistics module for Machine Learning, providing insights and suggestions for enhancement.

Achievements:

  • Developed comprehensive exercises for scientific graph creation and data storytelling.
  • Completed an exploratory data analysis exercise template.
  • Provided detailed evaluations of course modules, offering constructive feedback for future improvements.

Pending Tasks:

  • Implement suggested improvements in the Probability and Statistics module.
  • Further refine the data storytelling workshop with additional real-world examples.
