 FAQs

  • The DataWorks content consists of weekly tutorial sessions, weekly challenges and weekly content review documents. For each tutorial session, students will be required to attend one out of the four offered online sessions to learn more about data science in Power BI and Tableau, from our Data Science Directors. Each weekly tutorial session will consist of the data science material, application through examples and an opportunity to ask questions to our directors. Weekly challenges will consist of short questions about the material taught for that week.
