Treffer: Blending a MOOC course into a Business School's Course to Introduce Python for Data Analytics.

Many business schools began offering a data analytics course or infusing data analytics topics into their existing courses. Python programming language is an essential skill pertaining to data analytics. Python can process real-time, large, unstructured data as efficiently as traditional data. However, instructors must overcome the most significant hurdle business students often have: a lack of programming background.
