For the second extra credit, I’m looking to connect your passion to data sets. Here’s the assignment, which is good for two points to your final grade.
- Think about something your passionate about and want to explore more. Then think about two or three data sets that would apply to that passion. From there, map out a plan of what you’d look for.
Deliverable: Two or three paragraphs on your passion, why it matters and how data matters to it.
- Look into those data sets, form some ideas and map out how it could alter your career, enhance it or at least help you get others as passionate about your topic as you are.
Deliverable: Another two or three paragraphs.
The goal here is to get you thinking about how data connects with pretty much anything, but especially your career path. In recent semesters, we’ve come to the final project and I’d see topics like food insecurity, Social Security, and various social issues and thought that I wish I knew that earlier.
Bonus with this extra credit is that if you have a passion and three other like-minded people you have your team for assignment 3.
Happy to be a sounding board so reach out as needed.
