Sciences Section Info: DATA SKILLS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES: This course provides graduate students in the environmental sciences with essential skills in organizing, managing, cleaning, analyzing, and archiving quantitative data for reproducible and exploratory research. Through lectures, hands-on exercises, and an independent project, students will learn best practices for data storage, version control, and database management using tools like R, Python, SQL, and Git. They will develop workflows for data cleaning, transformation, visualization, and sharing, ensuring their research is transparent and transferrable. Special topics include handling large datasets, ethical considerations in data science, automated analysis workflows, and computing resources available at Illinois. By the end of the course, students will have completed a capstone project applying these skills to a quantitative dataset of their choice. Letter grading.
