Fall 2024 - Super easy class. Teaches a lot of consulting and project based work. Personally, I don't like consulting and thought the content was mid, but the class was dumb easy. The professor is very nice and bubbly (sometimes too talkative lol). You effectively do a small data science project at the end based on a chosen dataset and team. This class and 141XP share the same grade, of which 140XP accounts for 35%, 141XP the rest 65%. We had a small midterm along with weekly submissions, which mostly got completed during class time. And the end project accounts for quite a bit.
