Not only did I learn more about examining data, but I also learned how to use different programs such as Tableau and Excel. Now that I am more familiar with these programs, they can help benefit me in the future. I also found it interesting how people look at data and receive data in various ways. Overall, this class opened up a new perspective…[Read more]

On Amazon.com I tend to purchase many blu-rays. The rows for these purchases would be the name of the movies I purchased. The columns would include the price, year of release, rotten tomatoes score, type of blu-ray and genre of the movie. This is exactly what the data would look like if I were to implement it onto a spreadsheet.

The biggest challenge in assignment 4 was figuring out how to make our graphics clear. Tableau is a software that we’re all still trying to get the hang of so it wasn’t easy to translate the questions into graphics. Eventually we came together and figured out a way to make our graphics represent the questions we were answering. It was all about…[Read more]

A KPI I use very frequently is my PNC banking account app. It is specific and measurable because it tells me how much money I have in my account. It is achievable because it helps me not having to take cash out and instead to use money virtually. It’s relevant because it helps me pay for my expenses at school and in life. It’s also timely because…[Read more]

I did in fact happen to make one of the mistakes listed in the article. I remember one time I had a paper that was due and clicked “yes” without thinking which led to my entire paper getting deleted. Thankfully I was able to reload my computer and search through my hard drive which led me to discovering a saved copy of my paper. It’s mistakes like…[Read more]

In the Hoven article I think “explore” is the most important core principle out of the bunch. We must explore data in order to make new discoveries about our world and the greater universe. This will help us adapt as a society so that we can overcome any obstacle that gets in our way. We’ll also be more invested when exploring these data…[Read more]

An important takeaway from Mr. Celebi’s presentation was how there’s no limit on the amount of data he can track. It’s also very interesting to me how all the employee’s for Turkish Airlines have access to this data. This is definitely valuable when trying to make a top of the line company. I’m sure Turkish airlines uses this to their advantage…[Read more]

Some conventional wisdom I’ve heard is that playing video games makes it less likely for children to excel in the classroom. This statement is believed to be true by many, but there’s been reports over the last few years that video games help develop children’s brains. I would test this by having several groups of kids play a certain amount of…[Read more]
