COGS 108 - Data Science in Practice - is a class offered by the Cognitive Science Department of UC San Diego, taught by Professors Bradley Voytek and Shannon Ellis. Here is an overview and map of the COGS 108 Organization, which hosts materials and assignments for the class.
The most recent iteration of this class is Winter Quarter 2021, the syllabus for which is available here.
Slides and materials will be organized by week. All links to class videos, slides, and notebooks used MWF will be included here.
- Section Materials includes review materials used and presented by Instructional staff in section each week
- Discussion Labs are released, completed, and submitted on datahub

A suggested reading list (recommended, but not required).
A core component of the class is completing a group project. Some example projects from the Spring 2017, Winter 2018, Spring 2019, Fall 2019, Winter 2020, Spring 2020, and Fall 2020 iterations of the class are available
These assignments are intermingled with your project proposal, checkpoints and final project (due finals week). This is an assignment-heavy course load to get you as much practice as possible. This will require good time management and planning on your part. Start planning ahead now to avoid late submissions and issues later in the quarter.
