Here is what she says about herself and the class
Hi everyone, I’m Mayeesha! I am majoring in Cell Biology and Neuroscience and minoring in Psychology. I took Data 101 during my last semester as a graduating senior while trying to explore different career paths. I cannot stress enough how much this class has taught me about thinking analytically about the information presented to me. From realizing the role of bias in skewing samples and results to subsetting the data to find meaningful patterns, this class has shown me the importance of being critical about what I read and see on a daily basis. Despite my lack of coding experience, Professor Imielinski has been so encouraging and kind in office hours while showing me how to use R, which I feel much more comfortable with now! I look forward to using the data analysis skills I have gained in my future career and would recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a more keen understanding of how to analyze and present findings in a way that is meaningful to the audience at hand.
