I also write SQL from time to time therefore learning how to write SQL in 2501 was also helpful. The excel…[Read more]

Balancing school work and an internship can be a challenge. However, being aware of what needs to be done can make it more easier. For example, at work we utilize Microsoft Outlook which organizes any meetings I have. I also have a to-do list at my desk so I always glance over it to make sure what i need to do is being worked on. For schoolwork, I…[Read more]

Zillow is a website that lists houses to rent/buy. Zillow uses R to create and update the estimates of prices. Once you find the average prices of houses in an area, you can reasonably come up with a price that is common for a house in the same area.

The trickiest part of an ERD diagram in my own opinion is figuring out the cardinality from entity to entity. The advice I would give someone is to carefully read the scenario/statement and once you pick a cardinality, make sure it makes sense and try to match it to the scenario/statement to the best of your ability.

Previously I have worked for a store called Five Below. As each product is being purchased there is a system in the back office where we can track which products are being sold and the quantities of products being sold. From viewing these we are able to recognize which categories or products are sold the most.
