Unit 2 Lesson 15- My Own Data Story

Step 4: Written responses

Respond to the written responses below. Note that a recommended word count is provided for each question.



  1. Describe how you collected the data for your visualization including how it was collected, when it was collected, and over what period of time. Your description should be understandable by someone unfamiliar with this project.
(approximately 100 words)

The data was collected via an online Google Form created by the teacher and posted online for students in the class to do during the month of November for about two weeks. Students were asked multiple questions but the data I’ll be presenting to you is their moods on the days asked. The days include Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

  1. Describe your development process, explicitly identifying the computing tools and techniques you used to create your artifact. Your description must be detailed enough so that a person unfamiliar with those tools and techniques will understand your process.
(approximately 100 words)

I wanted to study on people’s different moods depending on certain days of the week.  For example, we collected all the different moods that were submitted on a Monday and then graphed it using a pie chart.  This process had results of the entire survey all into one pie chart.


  1. Describe your findings:
    • Describe the trend, pattern, or relationship you found within your data. How is it shown with your visualization?
    • Come up with a possible story or explanation for the trend you described. Make sure to note any assumptions you are making in this interpretation of the data.
(approximately 200 words)

The trend that was discovered by our pie charts was that regardless of the day of the week a large percent of the percentage only felt “good”.  The pie chart reflects these results because for everyday a large slice of the pie has people feeling “meh” or “good”.  This data seems realistic because nowadays, school and other life activities can play a role in a teen’s happiness. Most likely, they would feel overwhelmed and not the best mood and would only say “meh” or “good.” These results are only valid if we assume that the students answered the survey honestly and did not make the answers a joke.  We are also assuming that there are no other outside factors on certain days that would affect how they answer the question of how they are feeling on a certain day.  For example if on Wednesdays a certain person gets to see a friend on Friday’s they would be more inclined to answer that they feel either “good” or “great”.






  1. Make a recommendation based on the results of your analysis.
    • Describe who you are making the recommendation to and what should they do.
    • Explain how the recommendation will lead to some benefit or prevent some harmful effect.
    • Explain how your recommendation is supported by your analysis of the data, or what else might need to be investigated in order to make a stronger recommendation.
(approximately 100 words)

I would recommend to the school having more enjoyable activities at the school in order to boost the morale of the student body.  A more optimistic student body is beneficial for many reasons the first and most important that it would encourage students to attend their classes and do their work.  If students were more enthusiastic while they attend their classes it would cause them to be more productive and lead to higher grades overall for the student body.  My recommendation is factually supported through our data because everyday of the week there is a large community of the students who do feel either just “good” or “meh”.




Step 5: Submission


Copy your visualization and written responses into a single document. Ask for specific instructions on how to submit this single document.

Reflections from Blown to Bits Ch. 3 (Homework- 9/28/17)

Read Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Chapter 3 , Ghosts in the Machine, pp. 80-88 (Representation, Reality, and Illusion), then answer the following questions: You can find this under forms and docs/Blown to Bits How does highlighting in a PDF doc work? What are the computational ideas utilized? Continue the exploration of HTML by determining how you would complete today’s activity in HTML. Further compare your own protocol with HTML. Reflections from Blown to Bits Chapter 3: Highlighting in a PDF docs works by using a Highlight tool that will send bits over to the letters and alter the binary. The binary is changed so that when the bits processes through, the letters will be the same but highlighted in a color instead. Between my own protocol and today’s activity, they look pretty similar since they are in the same HTML format. My own protocol was a little less precise about fully doing it in HTML due to being new at the protocol.

Blown to Bits Appendix/Ch.3 Reflection (Homework- 10/11/17)

Day 3: Packets and redundancy Homework due Wednesday, Oct 11: Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Appendix - The Internet as System and Spirit, pp. 301-309, “The Internet as a Communication System,” then answer the following question: It is interesting to think about the foresight (or luck?) that caused initial Internet designers to choose a packet-switched network as the basis for the Internet. What do you think, foresight or luck? Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Chapter 3 - Ghosts in the Machine, pp. 91-92, “Data Formats as Public Property,” then answer the following question: What do you think the Internet would be like today if different companies’ network protocols were still competing for adoption for the Internet, instead of TCP being the de facto standard? Blown to Bits Ch.3 Reflection- (by Josh Lim) I believe it is foresight because they were not fully aware on their issues at the time. The designers from the experiments would have trouble understan...
