To help build my project plan (for those looking for what needs to be included, see p. 12 of the course handbook), I’ve engaged with lots of material in the last couple of weeks to create some structure around what I’d like to cover off within the scope of my project. Here’s it what […]

I apologize for disappearing for a while due to busy coursework and assignment pressures, but my project has been making progress. In the upcoming KIPP  presentations, I will share about helpful and inspiring events that have happened during this time, which have influenced the direction of my project. When working on the assignment for the […]

In the course Ethical Data Futures, I studied some cased which refers to ethical implications. One of these impressed me the most. I’d like to share my ideas here. The case is that Facebook users were shown a “social message” at the top of their News Feed. The social message encouraged them to vote and […]

I have returned home, but sadly got sick on the plane! I have spent a lot of these weeks finishing assignments and collecting reading to help my methodology. While finishing up these assignments I was able to assess the ethical limitations or risk of my study which was a great help. I am concerned about […]

This week my vision in my left eye has been a bit hazy…dehydration perhaps? Or migraines? What’s stricken me as remarkable is that my hand eye coordination seems to have improved despite this fact, and that my right eye vision (admittedly in my dominant eye anyway) has been sharper.

Great […]

Happy bank holiday weekend 🙂   I was watching the Golden State Warriors play the other day and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed playing basketball in primary school. I remember my coach used to always say “mark your partner like a big banana” and “where there is a will there’s a way”. […]

In the course of Representing Data, the topic of our group project is visualizing the publishing data of the National Library.  Libraries have always been a source of knowledge and culture, but accessing and understanding the vast amounts of data held by these institutions can be a daunting task, particularly for young audiences who may […]

In my previous blog, I mentioned my research interest in studying the impact of digital inclusive finance on China’s rural-urban income inequality. After reading through some literature, I found that there is still controversy over whether digital inclusive finance can effectively narrow the income gap between rural and urban areas. While some researchers argue that […]

In the process of selecting the topic, I referred to many sources and gained an in-depth understanding of the hot topics and cutting-edge developments in my field of study. After careful consideration and guidance from […]
