How to learn faster on Datacamp?

For those trying to complete a track before the end of September, this might help you.

When I started learning on Datacamp, I timed myself a lot. At a point in my journey, Timing myself helped me complete 16 courses in a month.

A thread ‼️

My general learning system has always been look through the course contents, then try to do the quiz of the course before actually taking the course. Kind of like learning in a reverse order.

I learnt this while watching one of Tina Huang’s Videos where she shared tips on Self studying.

Because of how Datacamp is provisioned, this system worked pretty fine for me.

My Roadmap for my Data Science Journey.

I wrote this down when I started.

Intentionality starts from writing down and making plain your goals and how you tend to achieve them.

In my case, I wrote down the goals(things I needed to learn) but I didn’t write down a plan.

I’ve been able to achieve quite a number on that list, even though I am jumping because I didn’t have a plan. This month I am re-strategizing. I would focus on finishing all I have not done. Certifications next, Portfolio after. It might take more than a month, slowly but surely.

If you are new to data science or data analytics, either you want to start this journey, or you have started already and you don’t have a roadmap, I will advise you make one and map out plans on achieving it.

It will serve as a guide and motivation for you to keep going.

How I was able to learn data science without having a laptop?

When I decided to do this(data science), the major limitation for me was not having a laptop.

On some days I would cry and feel frustrated because I didn’t have one and It was slowing me down.

A Long Thread!!!

@ingressive4good

The major breakthrough for me was @ingressive4good #I4GDatacamp scholarship. I downloaded the Datacamp app on the day I applied for the scholarship, this was like some days before the closing date.

Finding out I could code and do exercise on the app was the drive I needed to continue. On some occasions I would switch my phone to desktop version, so it feels like I am using a laptop.

With coursera, it wasn’t quite easy for me because of all the things I needed to download.

It takes a lot of mental effort to post a project or achievement on this space. For someone who has had her own fair share of anxiety issues, it takes extra mental effort. If someone posts a dashboard, a project or an achievement and you cannot criticize constructively…

Please keep your comment to your self.

Nigeria is happening to everyone so please be kind.

Also, if you can’t celebrate with people, don’t spread your negative energy, no matter how difficult it is, keep it to yourself.

Don’t be the reason someone commits suicide.

Also, when you ask someone a question and they don’t respond, don’t feel entitled, you did not subscribe for them and you don’t even know if they are online to respond. I know how bad I feel when I can’t respond to everyone because I don’t have the time but I still try my best.

The messages in my DM are a lot and very similar. It will take a while to answer everyone so….

I would be answering all under this THREAD.

These are the FAQs:

Q1: I want to be a Data scientist/ Analyst, how do I start?

Answer: If you are looking to become a Data Scientist, start with the IBM DATA SCIENCE COURSE ON COURSERA. If you are looking to be a Data Analyst, start with GOOGLE DATA ANALYTICS COURSE ON COURSERA. Financial aid is available for both.

Q2: What courses did you take?
Answer: I started with the IBM Data Science Professional certification course on coursera, I later took python for data science on Datacamp, Data communication concept on Datacamp, SQL Fundamentals on Datacamp.

JESUS TAKE ALL THE GLORY

It was on this day, Four months ago, that I started picked up the IBM Data Science Course on Coursera. A couple of weeks later, I won the #I4GDATACAMP scholarship.

When i started this journey, I wasn't even certain of Day 1. I put God first and I gave it my all.

Four months of consistency, Four months of hardwork and four months of putting GOD first.

When people say you can't pivot in six months, it was too scary because I know I get bored easily. I focused on learning the basics.

The goal was to constantly learn for six months, then start applying for jobs.
