This was a 5 month long project meant for 7 people. Huge amount of work where we had to basically act like we were building something for users and use all the concepts we learned. I spent weeks trying different ways to help keep everyone on the same page, ask questions and bring opportunity for collaboration and none of them reciprocated.

In the mean time I pulled all nighters to keep this project progressing while no one responded back to me each time.. And dealt with a major car accident that totaled my car and had to take care of my dad after rushing him to the ER. I had to compartmentalize all of that bc I had interviews too. Then the person who ran the red light and hit my car was trying to sue me fraudulently. So I was literally at my last straw for a moment. And I still stayed up contributing on the project when none of them did

My group mates didn’t even do anything after they said they would cover and I was so disappointed bc I left them docs of hella pages w resources to kind of better explain my thought process and read what I researched, milestones and everything written out for them to either collaborate/change or follow.

So I was honest in the contribution statement I did all the design planning, documentation, 14 page report, 80% of the implementation. last minute they were wanting to contribute but never read the doc or responded to my requests for them to confirm they like the design ideas for months. Some of them did end up helping a lot with getting stuff finalized n tested so i did believe they deserve full points as they did help with the overall functionality

All she did was constantly reply she would look and work on xyz part but never worked on it, even one part she didn’t do and I had to finish for her an hour before it was due. I literally listed so many things she could do when she asked what was left.

She’s spamming me all over email, found my linked in, spamming discord to essentially say she contributed when she only read one slide. I don’t care but from her spamming me I feel bad. Am I being too petty? Should I just email the prof to let her pass? What should I do?? Am I being too harsh?

Hello! So I am currently stumped. I am a CS student with only the last 8 months being introduced into public health data courses from my uni program. I found deep interest in pursuing public health and data, and am preparing for an interview tomorrow for an internship.

I’m so nervous about bombing this.

Requirements are
- excel for data cleaning and pre-processing or similar tools
- Tableau, Power BI or other visualization tools
- working with databases (SQL)
- R

in general:
How do I explain that I have very little experience with Excel. Am a beginner experience with Tableau and can make storyboards, but I have transferable experience with Python, pandas, Matplotlib, SQL, R, data cleaning, visualization, and analytical thinking in project work?

MY CURRENT experience
- Public health informatics program coursework

- I am proficient in data cleaning with python, pandas and frameworks and preprocessing on large data sets for different ML and modeling projects

Databases and filtering data:
- i am proficient in SQL and have learned/formed an understanding about databases through database design CS course

Data Visualization.
- Tableau I am a beginner familiarization of making story boards, however am not so confident in that respect with multiple project experience (class work)

- I do have project experience w python using Matplotlib, visualizing models + analyzing behavior of simulated networks for different topics like disease spread and media user sentiment, etc.

As for analytics I have very few projects centered around public health analytics, and most of analytical thinking is showcased to be more of beginning/end stage of my CS projects when it comes to understanding the context of problems and solution

How should I briefly relate the process I use for
different projects?

- requirements building and researching the domain
- driving design planning and decisions to address requirements and constraints/questions
- through out the process of testing and refining my projects
- and at the end of my projects analyzing trade offs for design goals, what the results mean, what the design addresses, outcomes of different scenarios, limitations, and future work/development

Sorry this is so scattered!! I have trouble knowing how to articulate and relate my experience to tools I’m not so confident about.
