Capstone: Health Data Science

In this capstone course, you will demonstrate your independence by applying the knowledge and skills acquired from the previous four courses to a real-world health data science challenge. Unlike earlier modules with structured guidance, this project provides minimal instructions, encouraging you to think critically and work autonomously. A hackathon style learning example will enable you to work closely with your peers throughout the journey. You will compile a portfolio showcasing your ability to translate research questions into analytical workflows, conduct rigorous data analysis, and develop computational solutions. This approach mirrors real-world health data science scenarios, preparing you to navigate complex challenges with confidence and expertise.

• Complete a graded capstone quiz, reinforcing foundational knowledge from previous courses and contributing to your final mark.
• Work through a structured module exercise to establish a solid foundation for your portfolio.
• Develop your independent project using a provided R Markdown template or create your own unique style.
• Follow detailed marking criteria and seek support through the course discussion forum.

• We highly encourage you to compelete all four courses prior to taking the capstone.
