Data, Decision Making and Analytics in Sports

This is an in-person class in which students are expected to attend and participate weekly. The format of this course will be a blend of lectures, individual and group assignments, projects, and class discussions that will rely heavily on the preparedness, active participation, and thoughtful contributions of class members. It is important that each student demonstrates the motivation and willingness to fully engage in challenging and intellectual discourse while, at the same time, listening respectfully to others. NYUClasses is utilized to maximize engagement in between class meetings. Students should check NYUClasses regularly for updates and assignments. Grades are based on participation, three individual research projects, one group project, and a comprehensive exam. Research will be conducted outside of class hours. The group project consists of semester-long research in which students will need to arrange for periodic meetings with their groups outside of class time.
