In this module, we learned about the data
life cycle – the journey of data from inception to action.
First, we learned about data collection and
how we record observations of our world.
Next, we learned about data storage, and the
various types of data repositories we encounter.
Then, we learned about data processing, and
the steps we perform to prepare our data for analysis.
Next, we learned about data analysis, and
the many tools we can use to analyze our data.
Then, we learned about taking action based
on the results of our analysis.
Finally, we learned about how we repeat this
process, using feedback as our guide, to .
optimize over time
In the next module, we’ll wrap things up for
this course and learn where to go next to
continue our own data-science journey.
