The Harriet W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning

Data Science

The Data Science Initiative prepares students to serve as consultants to faculty wishing to add more elements of data science to their undergraduate course. Students learn consulting skills within the context of managing a data science project related to teaching and learning.

Students enrolled in the Data Science Fellows course (DATA 1150, offered each Fall) collaborate with a participating faculty member to infuse data science tools and practice in existing undergraduate courses.

The students I’ve worked with in this course have been excellent and they take whatever you tell them and they run with it…they come with questions if they need it, but they’re really independent.

Students interested in registering for DATA 1150 are required to complete an application form prior to Fall pre-registration to be considered for the course. Please contact Linda Clark at Linda_Clark@Brown.edu with questions. Faculty interested in adapting or modifying data science curricula can request a Data Science Fellow to collaborate with them during the Fall semester.
