This course, for me, was about making data and concepts about data accessible to average people. I myself am very technologically challenged and the way the course was organized helped to make adjusting and learning much easier. Through the concepts and ideologies that we studied in this course, it showed me that nothing about data is surface…[Read more]

For Blackboard, the rows could be the courses you take(most likely separated by semester). The rows could probably be things like, your grade for each course, the content, the(each) syllabus, announcements, updates, pretty much every tab that each course shares.

A KPI I use, and all students actually use, is the grade-book on Blackboard(also on the community site, but I don’t necessarily use this everyday). It’s Specific because it categorizes by class and each tab organizes by each specific assignment. It’s Measurable because there’s a scale of which the professor grades assignments. It’s Achievable,…[Read more]

I’ve never personally made any of these mistakes because I never really have to deal with numbers(outside of a classroom setting), but I assume the main thing to look out for is the subject category so things like dropping the initial 0 in the Jersey zip codes doesn’t happen.

This article pretty much ties music and science together. I thought it was interesting because when I first learned music theory, it felt like it’s own science. The whole process of writing, editing and producing music has similar intricacies as science. It also stood out to me…[Read more]

This article is basically about a study that the Stanford University School of Medicine did testing the theory that (classical)music helps us focus. They conducted an experiment that monitored brain activity which showed that the most…[Read more]

This was kind of a tough choice but I would say the most important would be to respond. People spend so much time gathering and understanding data that it almost wouldn’t make sense not to share what you discovered. Grant it, all the steps of discovering, exploring and critiquing data are important but the sole purpose of data is to help,…[Read more]

I believe the main take away was that you can use data to narrow things down and better serve your customers/audience. Data’s used to make decisions by looking for a specific pattern in sales and using those patterns to better understand what customers want, and what persuades them to want to buy. His lecture contributed to what we we’re learning…[Read more]

This article is titled “When it Comes to Music Marketing, Data is Power”. I’m a music major so I found this article very useful. It basically talks about how you can use data to ensure profits on the music you release. It also talks…[Read more]

A well known saying of conventional wisdom is that it is healthier to eat more in the morning than in the evening. One way to test this is to survey a group of people on their eating habits and general health, which would be easy to do at any type of clinic. But this might be a hard thing to test because there are probably several outliers. People…[Read more]
