How We Measure Progress
Practical Projects
Work on modeling assignments that mirror real industry challenges. Each project builds on previous learning while introducing new complexity levels. We provide detailed feedback on methodology, accuracy, and presentation quality.
Competency Evaluations
Regular skill assessments that focus on practical application rather than memorization. These evaluations help identify areas where additional support might be beneficial and track your development across different modeling techniques.
Capstone Portfolio
Create a comprehensive portfolio showcasing your modeling work throughout the program. This includes documented case studies, model validation reports, and examples of your analytical thinking process that potential employers can review.
