Stats Prerequisite – done…

As part of the work between acceptance and the start of my first semester, there are things like orientation, a quant bootcamp, some recommended Khan Academy math refreshers, and four LinkedIn Learning stats classes.

Things have been a bit busy at work – lots of project work (already in week 11 of my return to Bandwidth.com – time sure is flying by!). I’ve continued my Udemy Streak – mixing in some shorter courses along with one long one on Data Lake’s I’ll post about in a week or two
