I believe the most important takeaway from this course how to analyze datasets and how to use them in Excel and Tableau. I think these skills are important to every scholar because every student should know how to differentiate data and set them into the correct categories. Also, what tools a person use to make datasets are very important. A huge…[Read more]

I use Youtube a lot. Youtube holds a lot of data but to make it into a simple and organized set I would make the columns represent the likes, dislikes, views, subscribers. The rows would represent individual categories for each video.

The article I decided to read was “Barack Obama delivers stinging critique of FBI: ‘We don’t operate on leaks”. The main purpose of the article was to touch on the election and Obama’s thoughts on it. Obama also spoke on Hillary issue with the secret emails being deleted and are now pursued by the FBI. This event made Trump gain a one percent lead…[Read more]

One KPI that I use and many other people use is my phone telling me the percentage of my battery. This is specific and measurable since the battery life is an accurate measure. It is achievable since a person can use their phone less to have more battery life. It’s relevant because the battery controls how long a person can use his or her phone.…[Read more]

I haven’t done any serious data analysis, so I haven’t made any of the mistakes listed in the article. However, I believe the most important mistake to avoid is the miss data type. This happens when you move data sets into different systems. The system can which your data into a different type. For example, when using Excel fractional values are…[Read more]

An article that I found interesting was on Guardian Data Blog. The article collected all the data about natural disasters and when they occurred. Also, it uses the data to compare countries to see which one is the safest and riskiest place to live. The article uses data visualizations by using bubbles and color schemes to make it easy for the…[Read more]

Reading through Hoven’s article “Stephen Few on Data Visualization: 8 Core Principles”, I believe the most important principle is explore. While exploring data you get to explore and discover things. Uncovering new data is very critical when doing data analysis. Also, when exploring with data people can be creative and innovative while finding new data.

I believe, the most important takeaway in last week’s discussion was that data can be bias. Data can be bias because the people who the collect the data can be biased when collecting because that person will only collect the data that he or she believe is important according to their beliefs. Also, a signal problem is important as well since the…[Read more]

The dataset that I chose from data.gov the dataset is called “College Scorecard”. http://catalog.data.gov/dataset/college-scorecard. I thought the data was interesting because it explains to students how to make college affordable and pick what college is the best fit for them using data. The data makes it easier for students to search for a…[Read more]

The article explains how the company forced their employees to open unauthorized accounts for customers. The company had a set goal for each employee to make every day, which was selling 15…[Read more]
