Getting started with data by Tahiya Brewin https://padlet.com/dlsta/f005aguqsm2d72ok en-us 2025-09-25 12:29:53 UTC 2025-09-25 14:21:07 UTC hello@padlet.com module summary dlsta https://padlet.com/dlsta/f005aguqsm2d72ok/wish/3603913223 This module empowers professionals from non-STEM backgrounds to confidently engage with data science in their work. Designed specifically for those who are new to quantitative methods, the module takes an intuitive, accessible approach to the technical language commonly used for data science and analytics.  

Rather than diving into creating complex mathematics, the module focuses on interpretation—teaching participants how to confidently read, run, and extract insights from existing dashboards and reports, written in R and Python.
