Why R language, In this blog, I will explain why I will be choosing the R language for the data management course, 1. R is an open-source programming language, students can install and use it without any difficulty. R-studio also provides an interactive interface for students to practice coding. 3. “R is the most popular language in the world of Data Science. It is heavily used in analyzing data that is both structured and unstructured. This has made R, the standard language for performing statistical operations. R allows various features that set it apart from other Data Science languages.” 4. Mathematics of data management is a course that is based on data visualization, descriptive analysis, data analysis, and probability. This programming language provides effective tools, functions, and packages to be employed for any type of computational and data analysis. 5. R comprises libraries like ggplot2, plotly that offer aesthetic graphical plots to its users. R is most widely recogniz...

Why Coding Skills?

I believe learning coding skills are essential for high school students. In this post, I would like to demonstrate some reasons, why students, must be familiar with programming and coding before going to school. 1. The tech industry continues to grow exponentially every year. Students need to learn digital skills to work. 2. Coding skills provide great opportunities to create content, for instance, instead of only using games as consumers, they learn how they can create them. 2. Students can develop their creativity through coding skills. Coding is based on the input-output process. Students learn to find logical processes to convert an input to the desired output. Within this rational process, they can develop their analytical thinking. 3. One thing that I teach my student would be taking risks, making mistakes, and learning from failures. I think the coding environment provides a safe place for students to take risks and fail, which is one effective way of learning. Through th...
