A Computational Textbook for Teaching Data Science with Julia
Travis DePrato, Raj Rao
Data science and machine learning courses are in high demand with growing enrollments. We discuss our experience teaching a computational DS&ML course with 250+ students that is designed to scale. We highlight the use of experiential learning, just-in-time presentation of key concepts, and real-time feedback on students’ understanding. We demo a computational textbook to make teaching a scalable DS&ML course easy.
