Members of the CIC Student Working Group are invited to work on this data science project which covers the essentials of data analysis, including cleaning, visualization, hypothesis testing, and communications.
This project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building, desk research, or research presentations.
The focus of this project is the research process as a whole. If you’re interested in learning more about specific data analysis tools, we encourage you to visit the National Student Data Corps (NSDC) Data Science Projects page.
This project is designed for individuals (not teams) and should take no more than 40 hours (~3 hours/week) to complete.
To get started, please complete this form and you will receive an email with the project steps attached. When your project is complete, email your final work to Lauren Close at CICStudentWorkingGroup@columbia.edu. Participants who finish this project will receive a certificate of completion. Please reach out to our team at any time for support and questions!
