Weekly Question: 23rd & 30th October

For many of you, the data analyics challenge (and the assignment that you are expected to submit with it) is the first time you are working with multiple sets of data by your self.

Reflect on your experience of working on the analytics challenge and write a few sentences about what has been the most challenging and the most rewarding aspects of working with “big data”.
