Galvanize is a great school. The students are intelligent and driven, and the intensity of the course seemed to force us to engage with each other in an extremely goal-oriented, intellectually honest manner. I cannot tell you how satisfying it is to work with others who operate on such a mature plane. The professors and DSRs are knowledgeable and dedicated to helping students actually understand the material, but you need to seek them out ...
Galvanize is a great school. The students are intelligent and driven, and the intensity of the course seemed to force us to engage with each other in an extremely goal-oriented, intellectually honest manner. I cannot tell you how satisfying it is to work with others who operate on such a mature plane. The professors and DSRs are knowledgeable and dedicated to helping students actually understand the material, but you need to seek them out if you need help outside of the classroom. I found Lee Murray (then DSR, now DSI) to be particularly helpful and very sharp.
The course is well-paced and decently orchestrated until we got into the Spark, AWS, Hadoop, Hive and Pig week. If you know anything about these pieces of software, you will know a week is not enough time to cover them. This week should focus only on the skills that are most attractive, to the majority of employers; and those skills are Spark and AWS. Students should be taken by the hand and walked through every step of setting up an EC2 instance on AWS, as it's actually not that hard, but admits of many pitfalls. The remaining time should be dedicated to Spark. Overall, given the immense depth and breadth of the topic, the instruction, course material and coursework are well crafted.
The classroom time dedicated to all the job/hiring stuff after we got through with the data science bit was far too short. However, Katie's (then the Director of Outcomes at Galvanize) assistance was outstanding. She can and will walk you through everything; from organizing the job tracker to how to write a cold email. She is also an invaluable source for finding job opportunities and will give you warm introductions to people. However, you must be patient and persistent with her, as she is a very busy women who simply cannot do 100 things at once.
In short, Galvanize has a great deal to offer, but as with all things, it's what you make of it. It was one of the best decisions I ever made, in part, because I was determined to make it so.
