Take a moment to introduce yourself to the Community. We'd love to get to know you!
Learn MoreHi Everyone -
First, Thanks to Alteryx for sharing this wonderful tool with us. I am truly excited to share it with students in our Data Science AAS program. The state of NJ has an "Innovative Pathways" program that promotes easy on/off ramps between advancement in careers and education, with the goal of integrating employer desired skills and certifications into college coursework and curricula. Alteryx Designer is a wonderful fit for our curriculum that meets these goals.
Awesome to hear @amwright73 ! I'm sure your students will love it. I hope the Alteryx Core and Foundation Micro Certification - Alteryx Community will be mentioned they are an awesome free test of practical Analytics Skills (the core being particularly practical based) if your haven't already seen them.
Welcome! Great to see Alteryx in the classroom more. When I was in school they taught us MS Access 🤢
hey @amwright73 I'm also in the boat of wishing I could have been taught Alteryx!
Is that through the SparkED program?
Be sure to have a look around the Community - its really a fantastic place for learning. A couple of resources I would especially recommend knowing about are:
I hope you find Alteryx to be easy to learn, and intuitive to use. Do remember that almost every tool has an example workflow and help documentation if you right click the tool in the tool palette:
("Help" for the tool documentation, "Open Example" for the example workflow).
And be sure to search for/ask for help on the Community if you get stuck. Alternatively, feel free to drop me a message here on the Community!
Cheers,
TheOC
Yes. I expect it to be a terrific experience using Alteryx. This second course in our sequence focuses on "data preparation". Another important issue for us is tracking every step in the process and Alteryx makes that sooo easy.
Well....we are still teaching a bit of that. Our philosophy is that the students need a foundation in the traditional tools (not necessarily expert) where so much structured data is stored. We are also engaging them in mathematics, statistics, and programming. We also have a "Data Security, Privacy, and Ethics" course requirement (first semester course).
