Coursera & Johns Hopkins
Johns Hopkins University has partnered with Coursera to offer free high-quality universally available online education designed and led by Johns Hopkins professors. Coursera offers many courses that are of interest to data scientists and researchers meeting the challenge of Big Data. IDIES Member at Large Roger Peng, Associate Director Steven Salzberg, and IDIES Affiliates Jeffrey Leek, Kasper Daniel Hansen, and Ben Langmead are active Coursera instructors.
Specializations
Coursera currently offers two specializations of interest to researchers interested in data-intensive science. A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses culminating in a capstone project. Courses must be taken on the identity-verified fee-based Signature Track to count towards a Specialization.
Students completing this program have a solid foundation in all aspects of Data Science. This specialization covers the concepts and tools you’ll need throughout the entire data science pipeline, from asking the right kinds of questions to making inferences and publishing results. Coursera offers a Data Science Specialization (fee-based) that includes the courses listed below and others.
Coursera & Johns Hopkins
The fundamentals of identifying, approaching, and solving data science problems.
The basics of understanding data with statistics. In this course the students learn how to draw inferences from data using statistical models, and from those inferences, how to select the best method of analysis.
Students completing this program will be able to understand, analyze, and interpret data from next-generation sequencing experiments. You will learn common tools of genomic data science. The Genomic Data Science Specialization includes a series of courses culminating in a capstone project. Although all courses in the Specialization can be taken at no cost, they must be taken on the identity-verified fee-based Signature Track to count towards the Genomic Data Science Specialization.
The Genomic Data Science Specialization (fee-based) includes the following courses, many of which are taught by IDIES Affiliates.
