Abstract
Many data science applications involve generating questions, acquiring data and preparing it for analysis—be it exploratory, inferential, or modeling focused—and communicating findings. Most data science curricula address each of these steps as separate units in a course or as separate courses. Open-ended term projects, on the other hand, allow students to put each of these steps into practice, sequentially and iteratively. In this paper we discuss what we mean by data science projects, why they are crucial in introductory data science courses, who works on these projects and how, when in the term they can be implemented, and where they can be shared.
期刊介绍：
SERJ is a peer-reviewed electronic journal of the International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) and the International Statistical Institute (ISI). SERJ is published twice a year and is free. SERJ aims to advance research-based knowledge that can help to improve the teaching, learning, and understanding of statistics or probability at all educational levels and in both formal (classroom-based) and informal (out-of-classroom) contexts. Such research may examine, for example, cognitive, motivational, attitudinal, curricular, teaching-related, technology-related, organizational, or societal factors and processes that are related to the development and understanding of stochastic knowledge. In addition, research may focus on how people use or apply statistical and probabilistic information and ideas, broadly viewed. The Journal encourages the submission of quality papers related to the above goals, such as reports of original research (both quantitative and qualitative), integrative and critical reviews of research literature, analyses of research-based theoretical and methodological models, and other types of papers described in full in the Guidelines for Authors. All papers are reviewed internally by an Associate Editor or Editor, and are blind-reviewed by at least two external referees. Contributions in English are recommended. Contributions in French and Spanish will also be considered. A submitted paper must not have been published before or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
