A while ago my #DataAnalysis course @UM_DKE was completed, largest crowd ever (105 actively participated) and fully online. Different new things were attempted this year (jupyter 
i/o slides, break-out rooms for collaborative coding/discussions, 
playlists, etc.) >>

I was lucky to be assisted by bright and engaging TAs like @PersonOfData. Listening to the student needs throughout the block adjusted course components and seems like we made it! We conclude the course with the #DataMadness assignments, so here are some of the final videos >>

"How did VAR influence the 2019-2020 Premier League season?" -- bonus effort to make the video viral >>
I appreciated the efforts of students to keep up with a demanding and practical course in COVID-19 times and tried to listen carefully to their ongoing feedback. At the same time I realized that interacting with students in person is "part of the job" that I miss the most >>
Nevertheless, online teaching does not necessarily mean that interaction cannot be optimal. You just need to put the right tools in practice, dynamically adjust to the needs of the class and be engaging (even with a pokerface like me that seems to unsettle many) >>
I close with a student review about what was good in the course and till next year! /FIN
