BIA Curriculum

Objectives

Each member participating in the Curriculum should graduate with core skills that would be reflected in at least 1 well-done project. Graduated members would then go on to secure analytics-related internships that are of interest to them, bridging BIA fundamentals with industry experience. After gaining these experiences, they would contribute to the curriculum and help mentor the next-generation of BIA members.

What is BIA?

Learning Structure

What is a Checklist?

A Checklist is a list of resources that readers are meant to read through and understand completely. A Checklist has its sections split according to importance. Labels used:

• IMPORTANT
  • Content labelled as IMPORTANT must be completely understood by the reader to proceed on with the curriculum.
• EXTRA
  • Content labelled as EXTRA should be read through at the reader's own leisure, as it will serve to reinforce learnings.
• OPTIONAL
  • Content labelled as OPTIONAL is content that would not affect the reader's comprehension of further material should he/she wish to skip them.

What is a Notebook?

A Notebook is a Jupyter notebook that is viewed in the Jupyter nbviewer, to walk readers through code usage.
