Proposal Response #1

Open jamesturk opened 1 month ago

jamesturk commented 1 month ago

Hi,

Thanks for the proposal, we'll provide feedback for discussion here.

First, it looks like a really interesting data set that I hadn't seen before. I think there's plenty here to work with, I do want to ask if you have worked with this data set before?

I ask that in part because it does seem quite large and I can anticipate some issues working with it depending on what you want to visualize. Since I haven't used it before I'm not sure what problems to anticipate, but if you've worked with it before you likely have a good sense of if it'll work for your needs. If not, I'd just ask that you let us (me/TAs) know ASAP if you run into issues so we can try to help you however we can.

Also start thinking about what 8-10 distinct visualizations you'd like to make with the data if you haven't already. That'll help you focus your energy with a data set this large, where aggregations are going to be important (you won't want to visualize millions of distinct points).

Hi James,

Thank you so much for the feedback. To answer your question here, I have not used this data set before. I searched it up, finding it pretty interesting and related to the area I am interested in. These few days I've been looking into the data and it seems to be a bit complicated to deal with and I am afraid that I won't have enough time to do the visualizations that I want. I think I will need to change the subject. I will upload the new project idea as soon as possible if that's okay.

I have updated a new project idea in my repo. The first data set (Healthy Chicago Survey) needs data request to the CDPH, I did the request already and if it's approved, I will use that as my data source. If it takes a while or doesn't get approved, I will use the second data source, which is NSDUH. Please let me know if you think there is any issue with the data. Thank you so much!

Sorry for the delay here, these new data sources look fine to me, glad you were able to surface those issues early. Let us know if you run into anything with this data set and we can help course correct.
