Nicole King had the highest overall score in the class of 150 students - her work was simply outstanding - her TA commented that Nicole's presentations were like research reports.
Here is what Nicole said about herself and the class
"I am a Psychology major, Statistics minor, graduating in May of 2021. During my undergraduate career I worked as a research assistant in the Human Computational Cognition Lab under the direction of Dr. Pernille Hemmer and Dr. Julien Musolino. My honors thesis, advised by Dr. Pernille Hemmer, investigated prior knowledge in the form of scripted and unscripted events. My thesis was awarded the MarilynShaw Award for Research Promise and the Henry Rutgers Scholar Award. In Fall 2021, I will start classes at The Ohio State University in pursuit of a PhD in Psychology within the Cognitive Neuroscience track. I will be working in the Model-Based Cognitive Neuroscience Lab under the direction of Dr. Brandon Turner.
Data 101 was such an enjoyable class due to the hands-on approach to working with data. It introduced me to Kaggle and allowed me to further advance my R skills in such a way they will be advantageous to my future research career. The class not only engages those with experience in data science, but those with little data science experience. It has become one of my most memorable classes during my time at Rutgers and I am thankful to Dr. Imielinski for teaching it this semester"
