Notes

The assigned task was to create a research poster and extended abstract and my topic was Facebook. While the project did not have us doing any other EDA type of work, the amount of criticial thinking for this course was a great introduction to the field and taught me how important not only data and information are in data science, but also, that ethics should play a larger role as well, and that it is often overlooked.
