One tip for me to balance school work and my internship is to keep a “to do list” and put everything in my calendar. I look at the syllabus to put all the due dates in my calendar and set reminders accordingly. For my internship, when I get a clear idea about my project, I will create a schedule for the task. And another thing that keep my int…[Read more]

The most important take away from this course is that data is everywhere and how important data to our lives now. Raw data does not tell or mean anything, but once it turns into information, it can give a lot of benefits. This is course for me is to realize data is everywhere, how important it is and how to analyze it to apply it to everyday life.

A data-driven service I usually use irregularly is Amazon.com. If I store the data for the service in a spreadsheet, each row will represent an order. Columns will be order ID, item, categoryID, date, customerID, date/time, number of items, price, total price, payment method, coupon(Yes/NO), shipping method, is the customer a member of Amazon…[Read more]

A: It is achievable because I can get different letter grades depending my behavior in the class and exams.

Sometimes I will forget to check the data type, and it is hard to find out what is wrong with the data. So I think it is important to avoid #6, Missing the data type. Especially with dates and integers. Because it is hard to tell the difference and it can ruin the whole data.

I think the industry that is most effected by bug data is financial industry such as Banks and Securities. With analyzing big data, early warnings can be sent out for securities fraud and trade visibility whenever there is a suspicious activity. Banks can use big data to track their customers and detect possible card fraud and audit trials. With…[Read more]

Because there are so many different factors that can influence students’ grades and their future careers. This can be tested by following a group of students…[Read more]
