Durva has written the best data driven blog (see 2021 blog entries), she also was one of the very top over all scorers in the class - with heavy load of 13 weekly assignments, final quiz and miderm.
From Durva:
"Hello everyone! I'm a rising senior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Economics. I am really interested in risk analysis, consumer behavior and business psychology, hence I am aiming to pursue a career in either one of these fields.
Before taking this class, the world of data science seemed daunting to me and consequently affected my ability to confidently derive conclusions about any data that I came across. Furthermore, my knowledge of R programming language was rather limited, hence the usage of R in this class has evidently shattered my mind blocks and made me more confident as an individual when it comes to data analysis. With that being said, I loved the fact that this class was more application based rather than rote learning, hence this class had connotations beyond academics for me. Lastly, I want to thank Professor Imielinski for his perspicacity while structuring this class and making it such an insightful course throughout the semester. I highly recommend this class to everyone at Rutgers!"
