Data literacy is an increasingly important and valuable skill set. Enrolling in this program allowed me to develop a robust understanding of data analysis concepts and tools in a way that I was able to apply new skills professionally as I was learning them. I notice I am better prepared to validate information presented to me, more capable of finding and presenting insights from data and more confident in tools like Excel and Tableau.
I love the continuing education classes at USD because unlike classes I’ve taken at other universities, I feel like the material is really applicable and I’m actually learning something. The courses push my learning without being too challenging/time consuming to complete while working full time. The professors also really seem interested in your growth rather than just checking off that you completed the requirements.
I’ve been using your online summer curriculum program for the past three years and it has been the best. I love that I have been able to work during the summer and create meaningful curriculum that I’m using throughout the year. I have shared my work with my coworkers and they have been using the resources I’ve created. I have recommended this program to numerous teachers because it allows us to earn units while we create resources we need. The instructors have provided me with helpful insight in restructuring lessons or thinking about my objectives. Thank you for offering these courses at an affordable cost.
