Projects

Here you can discuss the current status of your projects. You may create headings to organize your project. Note the hierarchy with the hash level, # (heading lv 1), ## (heading lv 2), ### (heading lv 3), #### (heading lv 4)

Consider also including a time table for each project you are working on. See below for an example.

Timetable.

# Milestone Description Status Deadline
1 Form Consultancy Have not started NOT STARTED 2/5/21
2 Choose a paper Have not started NOT STARTED 2/12/21
3 Preliminary data research Have not started NOT STARTED 2/15/21
4 Create website Have not started NOT STARTED 2/19/21

This week's challenges

No huge challenges this week, just went through the syllabus, tutorial videos, and most of "Getting Started" in the master checklist. Only challenge I faced was organizing everything in the course effectively (which I am still working on).

Expect this to change next week.

This Week's Challenges

My biggest challenge this week was getting a firm grasp of the entire workload for the semester and how to balance my time on certain checklist items effectively. After sitting down with the professor and making a detailed to-do list for the next few weeks, I feel a lot more comfortable with this course and what I need to do to succeed.

This Week's Challenges

Figuring out a realistic timeline for the Consultancy's project. We have a diverse set of to do list items to accomplish before the Client Meeting, all requiring different skills and amounts of time. Although the basics are sorted out and my team is working diligently, the full scope for recreating the data from our approved paper is still unknown at this time. I believe next week we can set-up a "first-draft" of a timeline and start cracking down on some of the checklist items.

This Week's Challenges

Regarding Special Works 1, I had some challenges determining the best ways to convert the data without losing accuracy or messing it up. After some critical thinking and looking through the Special Works discussion thread, I was able to accurately convert the data into the form (polygon) needed to reproduce the visualization.

This Week's Challenges

Figuring out how to reproduce what we can from the paper. The lack of identifying, specific information regarding their tools, data, and overall analysis is making reproducing this article's research extremely challenging. We are now "triaging" what we can and cannot use by the Thursday client meeting next week.
