Details & What I learned:
This webinar took place on Feb 20th, 2023, at 9:00pm. In this webinar they compared the differences between Data Analyst & Data Science. Mark (The Speaker) went into the day-to-day tools you would need to know and use in each field. For example, Data Analyst or Business Intel Analyst focuses on examining data and reporting insights, using Spreadsheets, SQL, and other Business Intel Tools. Data Scientist focuses on using collected data to model systems, using statistical Models, Python, SQL, etc.
Related to Coursework:
I am currently taking both data analytics and data science this semester, so it was very insightful to learn about the difference between the two and the tools I would need to know if I were to pursue a job in either of these fields.
