Using a dataset, I created a decision tree and performed an analysis of a patient’s likelihood of a 10-year risk of future coronary heart disease. The dataset includes information about each patients’ demographics, their medical history, and their smoking habits. I found that healthier patients had a lower risk of future coronary heart disease.

Python Decision Tree (Using Titanic Dataset)
The dataset I picked was from Kaggle and had data on the Titanic. The outcome variable I used was “survived”, a binary variable that showed whether the passenger survived or not. The features for predictions that I chose were passenger class, sex, age, and fare. Using these features and a decision tree Jupyter notebook, I was able to find any patterns in the features that can predict the survival or death of a passenger. I chose 15 as the best value for the minimum split. This is because the smaller the minimum split is, the more complex the tree is. We want the training set and validation set to be high and predict the outcome variable correctly.
A few insights that the decision tree provided were:
- Being female could increase your chance of survival
- Paying more for your fare could increase your chance of survival
- The younger males had a better chance of survival
The nodes with the highest probability are nodes 16 and 5 with a 100% probability of survival. This means the passengers most likely to survive are:
- Females who paid more than $33.85 for their fare
- Males younger than 36.25 who paid between $7.85 and $27.07 for their fare
The nodes with the lowest probability are nodes 3, 13, and 10 with a 0% probability of survival. This means the passengers least likely to survive are:
- Males younger than 36.25 who paid less than $7.85 for their fare
- Males older than 60.5
- Males between the ages of 36.85 and 43
Python Project
my project looked at covid cases and if it was more than 50 deaths I assigned it 1 and I assigned it 0. I filled out the sheet my teacher told us to do to get points.
Learning Design Thinking: Lead Change in Your Organization
Design thinking in terms of today’s business world is defined as a making-based approach to problem solving that is rooted in human empathy and collaborating in teams. It is designed to be used for solving complicated and complex problems that do not have one straightforward solution. The end goal of design thinking is to ultimately bring something to life, to a market, or to people or a community. The best leaders understand that this way of thinking is a mindset instead of a process with cookie-cutter steps to follow. It is an integrative and empathy-based approach that leads to success and differentiation that many companies are hoping to strengthen in their organizations.
There are four strategies that good design thinking leaders are able to do that will develop their design thinking leadership. I found these strategies to be really insightful. The first is being able to consistently frame the problem. Use both the details available and concepts that are later explored in order to reframe how the details are being approached. This will allow you to have multiple perspectives in solving a problem. Second, is to be experimental and welcome failure and small wins. The third strategy is to communicate ideas clearly in order to be affective to your peers. It will be more memorable this way and they are more likely to understand them. Lastly, you must define your role clearly as a leader and encourage collaboration as well as model it, in order to balance the vision and progress of team thinking. Set good examples within your organization, and your peers will more likely mirror that behavior.
However, since design thinking is a non-linear approach to problem solving, it can create ambiguity and anxiety. Strategies for managing ambiguity can include focusing on iterating ideas, recognizing that each iteration may be different, maintaining an optimistic attitude, and avoiding overcontrol. It’s important to identify signs of exhaustion, overcontrol, big picture paralysis, and step reliance early on in order to redirect the team’s energy.
To conclude, we need to remember that successful design-led organizations have a competitive edge due to the problem-solving approach of designers, but this advantage stems from a cultural mindset rather than a strict process, which may require time to establish. It’s crucial to understand that design thinking is centered on human needs, so it’s important to know the organization’s target audience as well as your own team members. To incorporate design thinking into your routine, we should try to brainstorm with “what if” questions and embrace unconventional ideas, as well as sketching and prototyping to elaborate on those ideas.
Prototyping is an important part of designing experiences since it allows teams to quickly learn from interacting with the prototype and to quickly adapt it based on the feedback received. Effective prototyping involves pulling information that is needed to inform the next iteration and creating an expression at the appropriate level of fidelity. Prototypes are known to serve three purposes: framing the iteration, learning from others, and refining and making. In order to master it, prototyping will require creating simple yet fast prototypes and sharing them with others as soon as possible. Reduce presentations and consider your user’s perspective in order to be the most effective. This will result in better-aligned teams and meaningful products and services, therefore, making an organization more likely to succeed longterm.
Microsoft Project(2016) Essential Training
CertificateOfCompletion_Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training
In this training, I learned about some resources I could utilize in Excel for project management. Some tasks included different views of the project and project time box. The training provided different views of the project, including information and scheduling of each task that needs to get done. Exploring how each filter could be used for different goals depending on your project. Most importantly how to track and manage a project through assigning, clearing, updating, and rescheduling unfinished work.
This is helpful because it also applied to the course MIS3535 in how to manage a project and how to utilize the tools that are available to us.

Learning Design Thinking Lead Change in Your Organization
CertificateOfCompletion_Learning Design Thinking Lead Change in Your Organization
In this training, I learned about design thinking about creative collaboration. These list of objectives were defining and leading design thinking, implementing a design thinking mindset, aligning the design team, managing creative flow, guiding collaboration, generating hypotheses, and prototyping fast and often. This is helpful with my critical thinking skills when thinking about issues and challenges a project could face, then applying them to a framework in order to solve the problems.
This relates to my MIS 3535 course in project management because the process of defining issues, defining designs, and being creative to generate solutions could require iteration, thinking different approaches and collaboration among teams and stakeholders.
