Abstract

In this talk, I will discuss the approaches to tackling the many challenges in data science. I will start by introducing my overall teaching methodologies, philosophy, describe the challenges of teaching data science to introductory level students and the proper pedagogical approaches which are required in order to instill academic success. Finally, I will discuss various problem-solving techniques required to handle situations where incomplete data and data with outliers exist, during which time I will introduce the different types of missing data and how to handle those specific instances.
