    College GAISE builds the brain:
    concepts need to be explained. (3)
    Apps and software analyze (6)
    real data with a reason why! (4)
    Many ways we’ll assess (9)
    our iterative data science process—(1)
    Variables can confound, (5)
    but active learnin’ helps us ground! (8)

    Evidence-based ways to teach (8)
    will increase students reached.
    Show the scope of what we conclude (2)
    with ethics and belonging all infused! (7, 10)

    Outro:College GAISE: give its authors praise
    for trails blazed as the website displays!

  • Did you hear about the statistics teacher who tried helping his students by reminding
    them that the symbol ≤ could be read as "less than or equal", "at most" or "no more than"?

    Well, it was the least he could do!

  • By definition all scientists are data scientists. In my opinion, they are half hacker, half analyst, they use data to build products and find insights. It’s Columbus meet Columbo - starry eyed explorers and skeptical detectives.

    Monica Rogati (1978 - )

  • Like doctors, data scientists should pledge a Hippocratic Oath, one that focuses on the possible misuses and misinterpretations of their models.

    Cathy O'Neil (1972 - )
