Successful Presentation
Few kinds of communication can have the effect of a powerful presentation. Even a short speech can motivate people to change long-held beliefs or to take action, and a wonderfully delivered speech can transform a normal person into a leader. In this course, Prof. William Kuskin provides a series of pragmatic videos and exercises for successful public speaking and presentations. The course develops through four themes—mastering fear, developing a creative formula, using verbal and body language, and anticipating the room—so that you can discover your personal power as a speaker and give excellent presentations. Successful presentations do not rely on perfect teeth, a deep voice, or an army of scriptwriters. They depend largely on the same skills as successful Business Writing and Graphic Design: clarity, structure, and revision. The goal of the course, therefore, is to enable you to discover your own internal power as a speaker and express it to the world. After this course, with some practice, you will be able to go into any situation and command the room for as long as you like. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.

Manage Schema Evolution in Real‑Time Data
Ship data and schema changes without outages. This hands-on course teaches you how to treat schemas as contracts, evolve them safely, and keep producers, consumers, and warehouses green end-to-end. You’ll design compatibility policies in a Schema Registry (backward/forward/full, transitive), automate checks in CI, and practice expand → adapt → contract rollouts. In streaming labs, you’ll capture OLTP changes with Debezium, deliver Avro-encoded events to Kafka, and route malformed records to a DLQ with actionable alerts. On the analytics side, you’ll evolve BigQuery/Iceberg schemas additively (NULLABLE/defaulted columns), shield downstream users with views/contracts, and validate correctness with queries and time travel. Realistic scenarios walk you through enum expansions, type widening, null/tombstone semantics, and subject naming rules. This course is for data engineers, backend engineers, and analytics engineers who work with real-time or streaming data systems and need to evolve schemas without downtime. It’s also useful for platform engineers and architects responsible for data contracts, CDC pipelines, or Kafka-based platforms. Learners should have basic SQL knowledge and a general understanding of streaming systems such as Kafka, along with familiarity with Git and the command line. Experience with schemas, CDC, Docker, or cloud data warehouses is helpful but not required. By the end, you’ll have runnable templates, governance checklists, and a portfolio-ready project that proves you can design zero-downtime change—confidently and repeatably.
