(picture on the left is a joke, i love my liberal arts education and appreciate it everyday, also i'm #fullride)
Fall 2023 Informatics/Intro to Data Science has introduced me to ways to utilize my technical skills outside of Intro to Computer Science. It taught me the exploratory data analysis process of cleaning data, processing data, analyzing data, and then presenting and communicating what information we got from the data.
Fall 2023 I wanted to fully take a class that focuses on social movements and activism. Other courses I taken had mentions of them, but I feel like this course would help me fully immersed in theory and in practice. Through this course, I learned about what Queering is and what the Queer Diaspora looks like outside of traditional representations of what Queer looks like.
Spring 2024 This class walks through the scientific method of conducting a Psychology study. This class provided me research design skills, how to conduct a proper and ethical study properly, and how to be intentional with the research design you are putting together in order to the data you need to present your findings.
Spring 2024 This was an unexpected course I decided to take but I wanted to take a class that focuses on how we can enact anti-racist pedagogy and practice equitable outcomes in our education. Through this course, I created lesson plans that surrounded the content we had in class and had my Community Placement at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School.
