Description
●Problem:
The current OSSU Data Science Curriculum lacks updated and relevant courses, deviating from the curricular guidelines.
●Duration:
1 month
●Background:
The issue lies in the omission of recent, valuable courses that align with the curricular guidelines.
To address this, I've updated the curriculum README, incorporating essential courses such as:
[CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python] (https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/)
[CS50’s Introduction to Databases with SQL]
(https://cs50.harvard.edu/sql/2024/)
[Learn Linear Algebra] (https://www.khanacademy.org/math/linear-algebra) from Khan Academy.
These additions aim to bridge the gap between the current curriculum and the outlined guidelines, providing learners with more comprehensive and up-to-date resources.
●Solution:
- Add CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python.
- Include CS50’s Introduction to Databases with SQL.
- Integrate Learn Linear Algebra from Khan Academy.
●Advantages:
- Aligns the curriculum with the latest curricular guidelines.
- Enhances the learning experience with current and relevant content.
●Disadvantages:
- Potential resistance to change.
- Initial confusion for users accustomed to the previous curriculum.
●Alternatives:
- Conduct a comprehensive review of all courses to identify further gaps.
- Establish a periodic review process to ensure ongoing alignment with curricular guidelines.
