The biggest takeaway that I have learned in this class is that the world has become technology and data dependent. Data analytics is resourceful in all industries, businesses, etc. If I were to explain MIS 0855 to a future student, I would explain that this class is the first step in learning how to understand, clean, and analyze data – things…[Read more]

I use Spotify everyday. If I wanted to analyze the data derived from this app, I would be most inclined to study the artists I listen to most often. Thus, each row could represent my 10 most listened-to artists. A column could be the song or album of that artist I listen to the most.

My iPhone battery percentage is a KPI I use everyday. It is specific because only my individual battery is displayed. It is measurable out of 100%. It is relevant because my phone battery dictates how long I can use my phone, which I often use to communicate with my friends and family, send work-emails, and check my grades.

I do not have much experience with Excel. However, Number 3 on the “Stupid Data Corruption Tricks” compilation seems to be the most pertinent. It’s vital to do a full backup on any computer software application.

According to Stephen Few’s article, I believe the most important data visualization principle is to simplify. Data visualizations are used so the people using them can better understand their data. Since some people are visual learners, these can be a great tool. However, if data visualizations are too complex, no one will be able to understand them.

When I was growing up, my mother always told me to drink a glass of milk before I go to bed in order to develop strong bones. This made sense to me, considering I knew milk contains a lot of potassium, which promotes bone strength. However, I could verify this information by looking up actual the vitamin/mineral contents of milk and seeing which,…[Read more]
