MIS2502ExtraCreditAssignment (1)

Description:

Through this class project, I aimed to explore an aspect of Management Information Systems/Data Analysis that resonated with my interests and career goals. As a Marketing/MIS double major, I expressed interest in Sentiment Analysis, a process used to analyze textual data such as customer reviews and employee feedback forms, and its other business applications. The practical example of Nike’s brand monitoring following the Colin Kaepernick controversy contributed to my understanding of how sentiment analysis could be used to benefit even the most triumphant companies. The results of the data provided by Nike suggested that analyzing a dataset (in this case, customer sentiments on social media sites like Twitter) holistically proves to be more beneficial than focusing on the extremes of the data. In relation to the content covered in MIS 2502, Sentiment Analysis serves as an example of text-based analysis/text-mining, which is important considering the fact that much of the data found on the internet/social media is unstructured and numerous. In the end, the project helped me develop a more extensive understanding of Sentiment Analysis and its importance in relevant fields.

 

The goal of this project was to discover a new topic that was related to my major. As a result, I learned a lot of new and relevant information pertaining to Artificial Intelligence. I discovered all of the many ways that Artificial Intelligence is incorporated in the world around me. Click here to view my project.

Cloud-Based Analytics (Extra Credit)

Researching cloud computing has allowed me to familiarize myself with how cloud-based analytics work but also how they connect to the SQL databases we have been using in class. I was able to gain insight into the functionality of they are utilized in a business setting. I was able to connect the information learned to a future class next semester of cloud architecture. I discuss the importance of cloud computing in terms of stability, flexibility, types of cloud computing, and how it is cost-effective. Lastly, I was able to connect the following information to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and learn the practicality of cloud-based analytics.

The goal of this assignment was to conduct independent research on a topic related to the Data Analytics class. The class topic I chose for the extra credit assignment was Big Data. As a result, I wrote a one-page research page on Big Data. I was able to analyze the role of Big Data in Data Analytics and MIS. Click here to access the document!

The goal was to use an API to create a single-page application (SPA). I was able to find an inexpensive jokes API on the web. I applied my knowledge from this course to construct working pages that reflected how the API worked. I ended up creating two pages. The first page included a picture and asked, “Do you want to hear a joke.” It also had a button labeled “What’s the joke” when prompted, it led to the second page. The second page displayed the joke from the API. The second page also had two buttons. The first button revealed the punchline, and the second button presented a new joke.

This project helped me to build on my previous knowledge from the In-class assignments. However, it was more hands-on. I had the freedom to chose the API. I was able to create a working SPA without step-by-step instruction. I was successful in implement the .getJSON function and jQuery methods (show and hide). This project helped to enhance my understanding of the Visual Studio Code.

CertificateOfCompletion_Learning Design Thinking Lead Change in Your Organization

Design thinking is a continuous cycle of understanding user needs, challenging existing assumptions, redefining problems based on new knowledge and understanding, and finding more solutions. There are five stages: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. It is a way of thinking and working, as well as a series of practical methods. It helps me deeply understand target users and build empathy. I can apply what I have learned to solve business problems by using the model.

This project was about API’s and how we can apply what we learned in class into an actual program. The goal of this project was to use our knowledge of jQuery, loops, conditional statements, and functions to create a summary statistic. In the HTML page I have 5 buttons that are coded to retrieve and calculate data from the API that was given to answer some questions about covid-19.

 

CertificateOfCompletion_Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training

To become a project manager, it is necessary to learn about project management applications. Through learning from Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training, I found Microsoft Project is a very powerful tool for project management. It can help the project manager in developing plans, allocating resources for tasks, tracking progress, managing the budget, and analyzing workload. It integrates data and business related to the project into one platform database and makes it easy to be managed.

What I learned from this course is about the basic operation of Project and understand project sheets. Before studying, I think I was familiar with using Excel, but then I found Project is much more complex than Excel. It has more taskbars and they need to work together. Every little change may lead to different information. I really need to pay more attention to doing each step, otherwise, I may make some mistakes. Since Project is functional, it is important for me to understand the difference between these tools and keep practicing. Having learned this software, I can use it in many ways. It will be beneficial for my future career.

1. Goals: I had to write a report on a subject that connects with what I learned in MIS 2502 (i.e. big data, AI, cloud computing, etc.) I explained how cloud computing connects with the various topics we covered in MIS 2502.
2. Results: I delivered a ~3 paragraph high-level overview of what cloud computing is, where it will be, and how it connects to data analytics and everyday tasks we completed in MIS 2502.
3. What I Learned: I learned that cloud computing is the delivery of computing services with the purpose of offering more efficient innovation and processes, flexible resources, and economies of scale. Services within cloud computing include databases, networking, software, storage, servers, analytics, and intelligence. It will only continue to become more and more prevalent as society advances technologically.
