Ratings and Reviews for Foundations of Sports Analytics: Data, Representation, and Models in Sports

The course content was intriguing. However, it definitely needs updating. There are times where assignment instructions are incomplete, or there are discrepancies between what is shown in the lecture and what is in the notebooks. There are also times where what is in the assignment quizzes doesn't match up with the actual data in the assignment notebooks. I didn't get a lot out of some of the weeks, as it felt like the instructor was just reading word for word what was written in the notebooks, not adding any additional commentary or explanation. Furthermore, I wish they would have dove deeper into some of the statistics and math behind some of the concepts they showed. They would introduce a concept a lot of times, but not explain what it meant or how it related to other concepts we had learned.

Complete and accessible course for everybody who wants to experience how statistics and econometrics can be used in sports contexts.

excelente forma de aprender

Excellent course on how data analytics can be used in the world of sports.

Experience in Python is needed.

I hate it

An excellent way to get hands-on experience exploring sports data in Python/R

very high level course

Great foundational course!

Some lectures seem to be unnecessary as they are repetitions of same concepts on different datasets.
