Welcome to the course!
Please take a look at the course Syllabus (updated 26.11.2019) to find important information regarding course content, structure, assessment, etc. The maximum number of seats on this course is 60 (not 50 as indicated in Oodi). Note that Oodi allows more than 60 people to register, so a successful registration does not equal a spot on the course (hence no "first come first serve"). Instead, the selection is made based on the course pre-survey. All registered students will receive a MyCourses notification when the link to the pre-survey is available. The survey has to be answered by December 31st 2019. The priority for the student selection is as follows:
1. Aalto ISM MSc students whose specialization area is Business Analytics
2. Aalto Analytics and Data Science minor students & Students in Master's Programme in in ICT Innovation (EIT digital)
3. Other Aalto MSc students (incl. ISM students without specialisation in Business Analytics)
In the first week of January 2020, the students who are accepted to the course (60 in total) will be informed via email sent to all students who have registered to the course.
All study materials except the course books will be provided as needed and made available on the pages found in the sidebar.

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).
