As we just wrapped up our last class, I really came to appreciate what we learned this semester. The simulations that were done taught me about the trial and error of data analytics. Your'e not going to get everything right the first try. Learning how to read data will help us be successful in the future and I can already see it happening in real life.
There have been times at work this year where one of my managers will ask me to help him on excel or help him with promotions. He will show me how many people we are hosting at the bar and lounge on certain nights. I give him suggestions that I think will help based off of things that I have seen on previous nights. This class has opened my mind to this and I know it will help me in the future.
This class taught me that numbers are your friends. Numbers will always be your friends because they are facts, no ifs and or buts about. That also reminds me of earlier in the semester when we were talking about good vs bad data and how you need to know the difference. Not all data will help you and there is a lot of time that can be wasted by looking into the wrong information.
One other subject mentioned in class today was about telling a story. I agree with this because this the most interesting way to learn. When it comes to retaining information, I always remember facts that come from documentaries. Documentaries are ways to tell stories while also learning at the same time.
The only regret I have from this class is that it was so early in the morning for me. I understand 9:30 is not that early but It was my earliest class and it was hard working nights and then coming in 5 or 6 hours after getting out. I feel as if I would have participated more and retained a little more if it had been later but that is out of my control. Overall, I do believe that this was the informative class that I took all year being a marketing major. I think I got the most out of this and I see how data analytics is the future to marketing, sales and all other businesses.
Thank you for a great year, thank you for teaching me all you have, and I wish you the best moving forward.
