thanks. didnt know data sci is under stats also.

Just a thought - do you think DS is overhyped?

I believe you said you work in the public sector before and, if possible, mind sharing how applicable is DS in your workplace?

yea most probably.

it is very applicable in my workplace bcos my unit was set up specifically to adopt data sci. and many of my colleagues who are not in the unit are also increasingly adopting it in their work. even colleagues from other dept/agencies approach us from time to time for stuff related to data sci.

but note that it is probably not the same everywhere in the public service... many ministries/agencies are very interested in it, but each of us are at different stage of development.

Yes you're right. I assume all DSA majors are pre-allocated GEQ??

GEQ didn't want to let me drop the module after realizing I was from DSA.
They mentioned that the faculty advised them to preallocate me the mod.
I have no idea if it's a DSA or FoS related reason.

Also, I hope DSA1101 isn't too difficult. (preferably same difficulty as ST1131)

I tried dropping GEQ but wasn't able to as well..

You took ST1131 as a UEM? I don't think that belongs to any of our requirements right?

Our intro module is DSA1101, why would we take ST1131? :o
If it's referring to my previous mention of ST1131 difficulty, it is cause it's just MCQ and SAQ exam lmao.

Left side at the back.

Ikr. Today's lecture had nothing constructive...
Mostly it's about examples or applications of data science / computer science.
