- CS7450: Information Visualization. Basically learned how to create useful data visualizations. Loved this class
- CSE 6242: Data and Visual Analytics. This class is interesting because you learn a very wide breadth of tools. We learned visualization (D3), big data processing (hadoop), and analytic tools (random forests for example). This was my favorite class so far
- ISYE 6414: Regression Analysis. The theoretical math parts of this class were really hard for me, but learning how to do practical regression analysis in R was super valuable to me.
- ISYE 6644: Simulation. Loved the professor for this class (Dr. Goldsman) but the material didn't seem very useful to me. Knowing the general approach of simulation for modeling is useful, but we went pretty deep into the math that I don't think will be useful in the long run
- ISYE 8803: Intro to Analytics. This was the most practical class I took and was taught by the head of the program. You basically learn all of the analytical models for the first 2/3s of the class, then in the last third you look at case studies and how to apply them.
Hopefully there's enough detail in there for you, let me know if you have any other questions
