In my opinion, the most important take away from MIS0855 is the combination of facts of how often we interact with data in our day to day lives and knowing how all of this data can be manipulated and misrepresented. Having this knowledge allows us to recognize misrepresented data in our day to day lives and makes us now think more critically off…[Read more]

Although I have not personally made any of these mistakes myself, I believe that the most important mistake to avoid is not including all of the columns when sorting your datasheet (#4). Making this mistake would corrupt the entire datasheet making this variation useless. Hopefully you have a back up or 2 of a datasheet when you make this mistake…[Read more]

I found a data set with information about how SEPTA runs during harsh weather conditions like heavy snow.
opendataphilly.org
This data set is of interest to me because Temple does not hold classes if SEPTA is not running that day, and I use SEPTA on a semi-regualer basis when traveling to and from Temple.
The information provided by this set…[Read more]
