Coursework

Digital Solution Studio

At the start of the course, I was eager to learn more about user experience. One of the main reasons I chose the MIS major is my interest in the human experience. Learning more about the user and the agile process gave me the reassurance that I wanted to pursue a career in user experience. I enjoyed working on the class project to design a website with the Norman terms in mind. Taking this class has led to my current internship working on user experience.

Data Analytics

Data analytics exposed me to many different databases and experience in using them. My favorite assignment in the course was the Analytics Challenge, we were given a data set and a list of questions to answer and display using any data tools we were comfortable with. We then created a graphic to display our findings.

Throughout the course of the semester, I learned a great deal about the importance of capital and labor in the economy applied in the Cobb Douglas production function. I was able to learn the mathematics behind wages for labor and the prices of capital. Overall I enjoyed this course and the learning environment my professor created.

When beginning this course I was eager to learn more about the topics I was interested in during the introductory course.
