Full Transcript

I've been trying to learn data science on my own uh I don't have much of a statistical background so it's been hard and I've been sort of struggling with the math and with the the various models I don't learn very well online I don't learn well from videos and I really need an interpersonal connection with the teacher to make very much progress at least initially one of the things that I've always sort of had trouble getting was the math behind regressions and Raja did such a good job of breaking down the problems and I would have it would have taken me a lot more time to understand what's going on if I hadn't come to the boot camp I really enjoyed it it did what I wanted I needed to get over that hump and now I've got a set of tools that I can apply immediately both at work and in my personal projects and uh I feel much more confident going into further learning I I didn't expect to come out of the boot camp knowing everything but I feel much better positioned to continue my development
