Learning Data Science: Tell Stories With Data
Data science has complex ideas about data and results. That’s why it takes a well-structured story to communicate these insights to others. It’s not simply a matter of creating the perfect Excel sheet or a beautiful graph. You need to tell a story that captures your audience’s imagination and encourages them to take some action. In this course, instructor Doug Rose explained how to weave together a great data science story and draw an audience into the story to communicate complex ideas and motivate everyone to make real changes.
