I think the biggest take away from the course is different ways to analyze data. For me personally, I was able to work with excel more on the data side. There are other courses at Fox that introduce to excel, however this was honestly the most helpful course for what I am trying to accomplish in my career. I was introduced to Tableau, which is a…[Read more]

A data driven service that I use regularly is Facebook. On a spread sheet, each individual row would probably be a facebook page. Each column would then be an attribute of that facebook page. There are probably over 100 collumns per facebook page, however some of the columns would be, an Indentification number, the Page name, page type, Date…[Read more]

One piece of conventional wisdom that I definitely hear in college, is that beer makes you fat, as oppose to drinking liquor. Hence the creation of the word “beer gut” As a bartender, I never thought this was true. If you drink 10 beers vs. 10 jack and cokes, I am sure the jack and cokes contain much more calories and sugar than the beer, however…[Read more]
