Introduction to Data Science - Homeworks

Course website: http://datasciencecourse.net

This repository will contain directories with all homeworks. You can manually download the files for each homework, but we recommend that you use git to clone and update this repository.

You can use GitHub Desktop to update this repository as new homeworks are published, or you can use the following commands:

Initial Step: Cloning

When you clone a repository you set up a copy on your computer. Run:

git clone https://github.com/datascience-course/2026-datascience-homework

This will create a folder 2026-datascience-homework on your computer, with the individual homeworks in subdirectories.

Updating

As we release new homeworks, or if we discover mistakes and update an already released homework description, you'll have to update your repository. You can do this by changing into the 2026-datascience-homework directory and executing:

git pull

That's it - you'll have the latest version of the homeworks. yay!!

How to Turn in Homeworks

Homework turn-ins are done through Canvas. To work with Canvas, you will need package your files as a single zip, even for the first assignments that do not have more than one file. There are several options for zipping a file, but a popular way to do it is to navigate to your files in your operating system's file browser, right-click, and select "Compress."
