After working with the cemetery data for our Data assignment for this class I have a mix review on how I feel about data bases and quantitative analysis... I'm not going to lie - I was not a fan of it initially. I felt like it was very complicated and hard to read, understand and I could not figure out for the life of me how to do a query! However, once I gathered myself (and all my angry thoughts) and actually focused, I found it to be a very useful tool in the organization and categoriztion of cemetery data. I actually really liked how the data set also had information on what was on each monument as it gave me a better insight as to who the person (or multiple individuals) who were buried in a specific plot. It also helped me a lot when I was doing my data base assignment because I needed to figure who who the people were and what family relations they had when they passed away.
Now they we are working with making data bases again for our Monument Analysis project I feel like it should be pretty easy for us as we have now learned how to use the programs that make it very easy to make spreadsheets and data sets for our information. This allows us to see the data in a very accessable (haha... access) way.
Over all.... I think I like databases now. I never thought I would say that, but.. I like the idea of them and I am looking forward to making one for our new project!
And because it is Friday...
Here are some funny pictures!
