-<h3 id="dei">Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Statement:</h3>
-<p>The University of Alabama at Birmingham considers the diversity of its students, faculty, and staff to be a strength and critical to its educational mission. In this class, we will strive to be an inclusive community where we can learn from the many perspectives and worldviews which may differ from our own. We are all expected to contribute to creating a respectful, welcoming, and safe environment that fosters a sense of belonging through open and honest dialogue. To this end, we should always conduct discussions in a way that honors, respects, and extends dignity to all class members.</p>

 <h3 id="intent">Course Intent:<strong><br /></strong></h3>
 <p>Our intent with the course has three parts. The first is for students to learn new techniques and technologies to assist with or facilitate data science. The second is for students to grapple with the application of those techniques and technologies. The third is to discuss with us how that went so we can check understanding and provide mentoring and guidance. We also love seeing all the cool stuff our students learn, and frequently find ourselves learning new perspectives, details, gotchas and technologies in the process.</p>
