It was my first time to teach students at Benilde, I wasn't sure if I would be able to teach the fundamentals. I read the course syllabus and said to myself its all biased towards IBM, I should be teaching them the fundamentals of it (with some nervousness and uncertainty on how to teach the elective course) I just delved into it!
I made the course out of the box from the typical classroom, we had group activities (from market basket analysis to time series) I did not force them to learn all of it and we had some guest speakers a total of five from all different industries to let them see how it's like in the real world.
To sum it all, the students did learn, they had their IBM-Cognos dashboards ready, they were able to answer the final exams and they were able to get insights on how to use analytics for their advantage. I think I did a good job on it. At the rate of 500 pesos an hour, it wasn't so bad after all.
