Invited talks

Teaching Data Science at an iSchool. Scope and lessons learned by Frank Hopfgartner

In this talk, I will introduce the MSc in Data Science programme offered by the Information School at University of Sheffield. The programme aims to train “Type 2” Data Scientists; that is data scientists who have some knowledge of a variety of data science techniques, but are more orientated towards the user needs, acting as a translator between the business problem and the technical environment necessary to deliver what is needed. After introducing the evolving scope of the programme over the years, I will reflect on a series of challenges we faced when delivering this conversion course.
