We covered a lot of ground for some basics of getting to know your data a bit better:

• We talked about cleaning data as part of the process for analysis
• We talked about filtering and sorting your data to look at it in different ways
• We talked about ways to count up and measure “common” values in your data
• We talked about getting a sense of how values are distributed in your data and how that can be meaningful in different ways
• You looked at some different examples of white papers
• You did a quick check-in survey to think about how the class is going so far
