I am so happy I did this.

99/100, in the MIT xPro Data Science and Big Data Analytics online course, after 121 hours of work in the last few weeks.

Some say, it’s good to practice retrieval as part of the human learning process. So let me summarise. What have I learned?

Here is a 3-part article series about it:

1. The personal insights, on taking up a challenge and a new learning project;
2. The professional insights, on data science and machine learning; and
3. The modern way of learning, on virtual learning platforms, comparing MIT xPro vs popular alternatives like Udemy.

In short, my gut feeling says:

In the new world of technologies and machines, it is just as important, that I keep the dancing, keep the yoga, and take the time to walk away from the screen!

Hope you find the lessons shared here useful for your own learning journey.
