Conference Week 10

Reflections of Week 10

I almost forgot to do my blog for Week 9. I had to go back in to edit the title. It was early in the a.m. when I completed all the tasks that I had planned for the week. I don't want to live that drama again. There are times during this semester that I want to quit. But, when I think about the things that I have learned so far, I have to press on. This class is one of the most helpful classes I have taken. I can use most of the things I learn in my professional career.

Week 10 discusses topics that deal with data warehousing, data mining, and GPS. The data warehousing and data mining will be a part of the Track I am in for my Masters Degree. Getting a start on learning about those items I would imagine shall be rewarding. I really appreciate the way that Prof. Pang presents the topics for discussion.

Visiting the OPM.gov site to see some workforce trends was also enlightning. I am a federal employee and never noticed the site. You can view some trends and come up with some possible assumptions about specific locations worldwide or national. You almost have to read many articles daily to come up with an article worthy of posting for the class. It does pay to read everyone's submission. You will learn a lot. For those who really want to be in the IT know, choosing to take this class is priceless.
