Data Science is considered a pseudonym for handling big data, machine learning, statistics, computing and mathematics. It is no uncommon for learners to think that all that requires a radical change in their education and even a change in the name of their Statistics major. However, it is not too difficult for a program promoting statistical literacy to at the same time use its resources as data science resources. It takes translation, some acquaintance with what all practitioners of data science usually do, and a willingness to edit the resources to make learners feel that they are immersed in the data science world.
