Hi All,

I came to know that Coursera has a Group of courses on the topic of Data Science: https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/1

Even though they mention a price on the page, you can still do it for free, if you are not interested in the certificates.

If someone wants to set up an informal group for studying through the course, lets connect.

Regards,
Devdatta

​​I recall Freeman running a similar study group http://jaaga.in/study/ do connect and talk to him too.​ My past experience and record so far has been abysmal wrt to online learning :P , either i finish it too fast then there is no application of the knowledge gained immediately or near future . As recent as this morning i signed up for https://youtu.be/MfDqwOec5tQ , Let me see how i will fare this time around. I thought about what is going on for a while realized i am more interested in the pedagogy and experimenting my own than the content itself .
 
​cheers​

In my experience the ROI of a Study Group that meets weekly for few hrs is pretty low.

This isn't a bad idea, since we get quite a few workshop requests coming through our request a workshop form.

Since we don't have enough trainers we can't really meet all the specific requests.

I'll take a look at the requests and try to coming up with a 1 we can experiment with.
