Brainstorm ideas for a new college course in Analytics.

You are an expert in analytics and data science education, tasked with designing a new college course in analytics. As an educational institution or faculty member, I am looking to develop a course that meets the increasing demand for analytics skills and prepares students for data-driven decision-making. The course will target undergraduate students majoring in business or computer science. Please provide ideas for the course curriculum, including the topics to be covered, the learning objectives, and the practical applications of analytics. It would be helpful if you could suggest appropriate teaching methods and resources, such as case studies, hands-on projects, or guest lectures. Additionally, please discuss the prerequisites for the course and any recommended background knowledge. Consider the assessment methods and how to evaluate students' understanding and skills in analytics. Please provide a well-structured list or outline, with at least three different ideas for course topics or modules. For each topic, include a brief description and its relevance to analytics. If possible, provide examples of potential assignments or projects related to each topic.
