Dissertation Proposal and Dissertation Manuscript and Template and Guide
Use the SOTE-Data Science Prospectus Template as your guide to success. Throughout this course. It not only provides the formatting and layout, but it is also full of hints and tips to help you improve your work. Most importantly, it also helps you build your work to create a much better Prospectus at the end of the course. Another document is the blank document, “Prospectus,” to add your content for your Prospectus. Use it from Lesson 1 to Lesson 8.
Prospectus Template
This is the document with the formatting needed for your assignments in this course. Use it for every lesson assignment, building your Prospectus in Lessons 1 through 8. Another document, the SOTE-Data Science Prospectus Template, is your guide to success. Throughout this course, it provides the formatting and layout; it is also full of hints and tips to help you improve your work. Most importantly, it also helps you build your work to create a much better Prospectus at the end of the course.
