"I am a Statistics major and Psychology minor planning to graduate May2020. I hope to pursue a master’s degree in Biostatistics and a career
in data analysis. I was already interested in this subject before taking Data 101, but now I feel I have great hands on experiencanalyzing data (in R and in general). The Prediction Challenge wassuper fun and reassured me that I picked the right major. Overall, Iloved the class and I think it can be really useful for anyone
regardless of major, especially because almost all careers nowadaysrely on data in some way."
