CS109 is Harvard's introductory data science course, covering data analysis, statistics, and machine learning workflows. The commenter notes it included a homework on network-style node relationship analysis of Senate voting data.

One commenter points to it as a current Harvard data science course whose homework used the same kind of relationship analysis as a Show HN project.

   I don't have a full answer for you, but will tell you that MOOCs aren't all that bad. You can find lectures from major universities on their websites, on Coursera, and on YouTube. If their pace is an issue, you can play them back at 2x speed. * On Coursera, Duke's Statistical Inference class is…

   Check out this data science course from harvard. I'm assuming you have some statistics background since you're a science major. Currently I'm learning Django framework for developing a web application and also doing the data science course just to see which path I want to pursue. Since you're a…
