    Please take a look at the course syllabus to find important information regarding course content, structure, assessment, etc. On January 2, the students that were accepted to the course (73 in total) were informed via email sent to all students who have registered to the course. The selection was made on the basis of the course participant survey (which was due on December 31st). Please see the project team list below.

      This course is supported by DataCamp, a great learning platform where you can learn R, Python and SQL through a combination of short expert videos and hands-on-the-keyboard exercises. We have arranged a Classroom license for all DSB I students that will grant you access to DataCamp's premium content for 6 months. Some DataCamp courses will be mandatory assignments in DSB I, but we encourage all students to use this chance and explore also more advanced courses. 

      Note: the Classroom license will be granted once the student selection process is finished (around January 2nd).
