The takeaways from this course I find most important are Excel and SQL. During the internship interviews i had this semester every firm asked me about my Excel proficiency.

For me the hardest part was navigating the wordiness of the scenarios. This simulates a real world experience where the subjects you interview for gathering requirements will want to tell you every last detail, whether or not it is relevant. So having to sort the redundant and irrelevant information was the hardest part for me.

I read an article last semester explaining how the NBA game has been transformed due to data analytics. The data showed that players had nearly the same probability of successfully converting a mid range shot as they do a 3-point shot.
