Assessment
In this Data Science course, there will be
- One (1) diagnostic assessment is to be conducted synchronously and is knowledge-based, allowing learners to choose between remote or on-site participation.
- Two (2) formative assessments, one focused on knowledge and the other on performance. Both are available asynchronously, allowing learners to complete them at their own pace and participate remotely or on-site.
- A performance-based summative assessment is conducted synchronously, providing learners remote or on-site participation.
Credit and Recognition
Upon completing the Machine Learning course, learners will receive a Certificate of Completion and a badge. These serve both as a recognition of acquired data science expertise and a foundational step toward more advanced studies in said field.
This course is facilitated by a Microsoft Certified Professional, someone who has completed professional training for Microsoft products through a certification program provided by Microsoft. To ensure the quality of this microcredential, continuous feedback loops with students, instructors, and industry practitioners are maintained to continuously improve content, delivery, and assessment methods.
Learning Pathways
The learner is eligible to take the Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Scientist Associate.
Data Science Path. Data Science is the ultimate destination, and it can be reached through two distinct paths:
- Data Analytics: If you’re passionate about discovering actionable insights from data.
- Machine Learning: If you’re intrigued by predictive modeling and artificial intelligence.
