    Teaching methods and instruction

    Note: the course subscriber (degree program) has required that this course be implemented in the Python coding language. Therefore, no other data analytics application programs are used in the course, only the Python coding language.
    The course is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on analyzing structured data from different perspectives. Each part includes coding tasks and an exam. The parts are as follows.
    - descriptive analytics
    - diagnostic analytics
    - time series analysis and forecasting
    - introduction to machine learning.

    All necessary material can be found on Moodle, including a Q@A section where students can raise questions related to the course.
