The most important takeaway from this class is unlearning to trust the data. Now I know that there are so many unstructured data and we need to collect and analyze them carefully and correctly.

I think all 8 principles are equally important because good data visualization has to include all of them. However, the principle “Be Skeptical” stays with me after the reading. Most of us, or at least me, tends to accept the first answer for our question, probably not because exploring further is hard as the article says. In fact, we…[Read more]

According to Global Carbon Project, we only have 19 years and 336 days left until our carbon budget will be exceeded if our…[Read more] -

One of the conventional wisdom is “study-abroad experience helps you get a job easier.” Lots of schools, take study abroad department of Temple for example, strongly encourage their students to study abroad for a summer or semester/year to experience the new culture and new environment where students will be challenged and stretch themselves.
