About EDHI 1120 A
The purpose of this course is to teach data literacy to promote change. Universities are important contexts for student success, yet few individuals receive formal education to understand university structures and how decisions are made. Together, we will focus on how to use university data to present data-informed solutions to problems at UVM.
