I think the most important take away from this semester was learning how to look for outliers and possibly messed up data in a data set. I feel that this skill will help me in my future career. I would say that MIS0855 was about recognizing data in your everyday life and learning how to analyze it and make sense of it to come to different conclusions.

A data driven website I often use is Youtube. A row would be an individual video. A column could be the artist/ producer of video, channel the video is on, number of subscribers to the channel, number of views, another video often viewed after this video, and number of likes and dislikes.

I use the KPI of the number minutes it takes me to walk from my apartment to class. This is specific and measurable- minutes and distance is a precise measurement. This is achievable- I can walk faster or slower to alter my results. Its relevant- the number of minutes has an impact on the amount of time I allow myself to get to class. It’s…[Read more]

I have never made any of these mistakes but I think that the most important mistake would be not knowing what system you are logged onto. This mistake can be very time consuming and can get you really confused. It can ultimately corrupt data and cause you to have to take several steps back in your process.

I think the most important principle is respond. If nobody ever did anything with the data collected then the data would ultimately mean nothing. It is important to respond and get involved with the data around to better the world around us. The ability to share information makes it possible for a lot of enhancements throughout our society.

The most important take away I got from class last week was the idea that we must be more careful in looking for bias in the data that we choose to use. While looking at the reviews in class from Yelp and Google I came across a lot of sketchy reviews. When me and my friends were looking at reviews for this restaurant recently I was paying most…[Read more]

1) I found a data set of all neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
2) I found this data set on opendataphilly.org.
3) I find this interesting because I was never aware of all the neighborhoods in Philadelphia. I used to just split it up into about 10 neighborhoods but I was way off.
4) I earned that I have been living in the Paschall neighborhood for…[Read more] -

One piece of conventional wisdom could be, “It’s not always what you know, but who you know.” A lot of people believe that most success comes from the relationships you form with successful people. A way to test this theory could be to just collect data/ information from different successful people from all backgrounds and see if they got to where…[Read more]
