Database courses

I am reminded of database courses I completed at NCU. I learned a lot.
I learned about data mining, OLAP, knowledge management, and data protection/loss.

For the database administration and management course, MIS 7002, I needed to prepare a signature assignment. It required me to prepare a 12-page organizational intelligence policy. I was proud of this assignment.

There was a paper on the knowledge and skills needed for specific database positions (by different database professionals or people who work with databases). I need to think about these issues for my situation.

One of the papers I prepared during the course was similar to a document I prepared on an audit project at Grant Thornton. I pulled together the federal and state regulations/rules, standards, and policies that pertain to data protection.

There was a presentation on data mining (https://youtu.be/H4crCeJegGY). I recall that I used my background to select data mining examples. Under-the-hood information on this assignment (in the course blog) reminded me that I prepared it in the computer lab for residents of my Gainesville apartment community (http://fmooredbadminmngtsiga.blogspot.com/2016/10/assignment-submitted.html). Posts and pictures in the blog bring back a lot of memories. I recall the cover photo / header picture that I designed for my social media accounts. My photos of a small cathedral-like church in Gainesville are shown. I stopped taking food to the lab.

I prepared a presentation on an example of failed decision-making at Amazon.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
