“Data scientists are the magicians of the Big Data era. They crunch the data, use mathematical models to analyze it and create narratives or visualizations to explain it, then suggest how to use the information to make decisions.”

16. Anonymous feedback:
“While it was not clear to me during my time at Le Moyne that I was receiving a superior education, it became very clear once in graduate school at XXX University. I had a firm grasp on research methods, thanks to Dr. XXX and the time he spent with me…. In fact, credit can be given to all of Le Moyne's staff. By the time I got to graduate school, I could focus on subject matter instead of form. A majority of students from other undergraduate programs could not say the same. Most importantly, Le Moyne enabled me to be confident, to believe in myself, to take chances, and to be successful in whatever I do!”

31. Tony Wagner – Harvard Grad School Ed
Students are graduating from both high school and college unprepared for the world of work. Less than a quarter of the more than 400 employers recently surveyed for a major study of work readiness report that new employees with four-year college degrees have “excellent” basic knowledge and applied skills. Among those who employ young people right out of high school, nearly 50 percent said that their overall preparation was “deficient.”
“they may be learning how to add, subtract, and multiply, but they have no understanding of how to think about numbers. Not knowing how to understand statistics or gauge probability, many students cannot make sense of the graphs and charts they’ll see every day in the newspaper.”
Effective communication, curiosity, and critical thinking skills, as we will see, are much more than just the traditional desirable outcomes of a liberal arts education. They are essential competencies and habits of mind for life in the 21st century.
Seven Survival Skills—the skills that matter most for work, learning, and citizenship in today’s global knowledge economy.

33. Course Objectives
This course is intended to refine your applied academic skills to better prepare you for professional careers of leadership in public administration, business administration, economics, criminal justice and consulting. Upon completion of this course, class members should be able to:
Explain the use of the CLASS scale (Community Need, Logical Approach, Assessment Plan, Sustainability Plan and Special interest area) in philanthropy and grantmaking relating to the career area of your choice.
(Community Need) Gather, tally and present data in charts and graphs to show basic numerical information and explain how these skills are important in needs assessment and other program/policy applications.
(Logical Approach) Create and demonstrate the use of Logic Models for program/policy design and evaluation.
(Assessment Plan) Demonstrate ability to design an appropriate evaluation design. This includes articulating the difference between formative and summative evaluation, and differentiating between experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental evaluation designs.
(Assessment Plan) Demonstrate ability to select and apply appropriate statistical approaches to evaluating results in the policy process, including using SPSS to perform Chi-Square, T-Test, OLS and Logistic Regression analyses.
(Sustainability Plan) Produce a flexible budget spreadsheet to accommodate a hypothetical social program and use this spreadsheet to display the importance of budgeting in social policies and programs.
OPTIONAL -(Special Interest Area) Locate, access, and import policy-relevant data into ArcView GIS and present this data in comprehensible geographic format.
