This course emphasizes the importance of data-analytic thinking. It helps students view business problems from a data perspective and understand principles of extracting useful knowledge from data. Formulating data science solutions and evaluating the results requires mindful thinking. Students are expected to spend most time on understanding and processing the data. Next, they will consider appropriate methods to analyze and visualize data and provide useful knowledge for decision makers. In this class, students will learn how to collect and process big data and learn a wide array of machine learning and visualization techniques. Students should be able to apply the techniques to our everyday life or solve business/research problems. For business students, Anaconda , Kaggle , Tableau , and R are popular options. For advanced users, D3.js will offer you interactive, flexible, and powerful to visualize data.

Management Information Systems

This course is an introduction to grounded principles and techniques of design, cognition, perception, and human-computer-interaction for visualizing data interactively. Today, the amount of digital data has grown exponentially, which posts a major challenge for business to manipulate and analyze data efficiently. To gain useful insight from business data, the visual analytics techniques have drawn attention to the public. The major goal of this course is to teach business students, typically nonprogrammers, how to use visualization techniques to analyze big data. Students will work as groups and learn a wide array of visualization methods and be able to apply the techniques to our everyday life or research problems.
