Course: Applied Data Science for Social Impact — 12 weeks, target cohort 20–30 undergrads, groups of 3–4. Objectives: (1) build reproducible data pipelines, (2) design and evaluate an evidence-based intervention analysis, (3) communicate findings to nontechnical stakeholders. Assessments: weekly labs 20%, midterm mini-project 25%, final group capstone 40%, participation & peer review 15%. Representative assignment: a two-week lab where students clean a 50k-row survey, pre-register two hypotheses, produce a reproducible Jupyter notebook, and submit a 3-minute explainer video. Success metrics: pre/post concept test targeting a 25% average improvement, rubric-based grading with 80% of students scoring ≥80% on the capstone, and student feedback NPS ≥30. I’d use iterative design reviews, automated reproducibility tests, and structured peer feedback to hit those targets.
