PPP – 03 Data Analyst Workflow and Round table

The purpose of the following tasks is to: learn about 2 data analysis software; read about causal models; create three causal models related to your public problem; and create a presentation slide. The purpose of this step is to introduce yourself to two industry-leading software for data analysis. You are not expected to use this software for this workflow I just want you to know that it exists so in the future when you hear about data analysis you will recall: “Hey I remember there is data analysis software called R Studio and/or STATA!” The purpose of this step is to read two short articles that explain causal models and the causal modeling process. This is important for you to read so that you can complete the next step of drawing or creating your own causal models related to your specific public problem. The purpose of this step is to consider what you are observing before clarifying the relationship between cause and effect. You need to think about the unit of observation your public problem affects. Units of observation are the objects that are affected by the public problem which can be people school districts cities counties states or countries. The purpose of this step is to apply your knowledge of causal models to your specific public problem. The way you apply your knowledge is by drawing three causal models using pen and paper or creating three causal models using software such as Microsoft Word SmartArt or Google Draw. Draw using pen and paper or design using art/draw in document editor (ex. Microsoft Word SmartArt or draw.io (Links to an external site.)) three causal models related to your public problem. While we are using the language of “causes” and “effects” there are other terms that are more appropriately use in analyzing causal relations. Causes can also be known as “independent variables” or “treatments”. Effects can also be known as “dependent variables” or “outcomes”. The purpose of this step is to reflect on these steps by explaining what you liked or disliked about the process place one or more of your drawn/created causal models in a presentation slide and find a data table chart or graph related public problem and placing it a presentation slide.
