Days 34 & 35 Brand New Start

        Two weeks ago, I had a difficult time thinking of the future teamwork for Chapter 6. I was not responsible for working on Chapter 6, and was only familiar with it partially. This is why yesterday I asked for Sama and Roberto's help. They are a team of pair programmers who rewrote the entirety of chapter 6 to fit a new business dataset, and are the most familiar with the contents. Together, we were able to quickly brainstorm ideas for the chapter, and by the end of the day were practically finished. Originally, I was thinking of providing students with a dataset and then asking them web scrape additional data. Sama offered that we create an HTML page ourselves, storing data in our preferred way instead of relying on an outside source.
        This was so incredible for a few reasons. Firstly, I was very encouraged by Sama's willingness to be bold and create something brand new instead of adapting. Secondly, I really enjoyed how we as a team were not hesitant about something that was more difficult to implement but would serve students better in the long run. And, lastly, I was happy to learn from both Sama's and Roberto's knowledge on web scraping.
        We spent the majority of the day manually adjusting our dataset to fit the idea we had in mind. We had a minor issue, our country count did not match our country data count, but after some careful data cleaning, we resolved it. In the end, we even created some initial instructions for students in a Google Colab document.
        It was a wonderful end of week 7. I am able to recognize areas of growth, and areas that I hope to focus on during the semester. I think that this is exactly where I want to be at this point in the internship.

Day 18 & 19: The Book is Coming Together and It Is Beautiful

         Yesterday, I spent the day reading about Data Science programs and areas of research at different universities and research facilities. I was curious to find out about the slight differences between what is considered to be Data Science and Management Information Systems at some schools. I will reflect on the findings later and make a separate note, because I do not think I have a full grasp just yet. Additionally, I will be emailing professors, whose research I found interesting.          Today, I was invited to listen to a seminar by Wes McKinley, the founder of the Pandas library for Python and UrsaLabs, where he works on ApacheArrow. I learned about the conceptual differences between DataFrames in different languages, and the importance of creating a system, like ApacheArrow, that could convert and manipulate universal DataFrames across different platforms. On a personal note, I was excited to be there as a rookie in Data Sc...

Day 16: Boundaries and Informal Leadership

        The workflow is established, and everyone knows what they are doing. In the morning I was invited into Sandesh's and Imma's room to introduce them to Jupyter Notebooks. It was pretty easy to know what to say and which features of the tool to stress since I spent some time yesterday with Sama and Roberto doing the same exact thing. Rebekah joined the session as well since she wanted to know more about the tools. I really enjoy explaining data science tools and breaking down concepts to others when working in a team.            I spent some time afterward in a meeting with Dr. Boggs, where we discussed the changes for Chapter 8 and  her upcoming contribution to the book. It is important that we know what we are expecting in terms of contributions as we need to know what is going to be later added to the chapters before the pair-programmers make their own changes. To be frank, I left the meeting very confused. Origina...

Days 24 & 25: Highest Level of Teaching Assistantship

         I have been a Teaching Assistant now for 2 years, and since May of this year, I have been operating at what I believe to be the highest level of any Teaching Assistance experience. In the past, I have been involved in peer-to-peer tutoring, homework evaluation, and I even got to teach classes in place of the professors. However, it is only since the start of the pandemic that  I got the chance to author 10 different exercise materials and edit two books for brand new courses in Data Science. To me, this work is far more challenging than teaching a class, because I need to constantly think of the students' needs and their trajectory in a course in order to create exercise materials. I need to have a balanced understanding of what students should know, and how much I can challenge them with new ideas. I need to think of their cognitive load.          Currently, I am building team works for each chapter of How To Think Like a ...
