Group Projects - DATA DEVELOPMENT - Week of March 5-9 / Due Thursday 3/8 by 11PM by Justin Ellis https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp DATA DEVELOPMENT. This week's assignment is to refine your data collection methods and begin to compile your initial data into a spreadsheet or other format. This will insure that you understand what information your group is collecting, and how to compile, organize and analyze the data for distribution to an audience. Rather than a photo of your group, this week you should take a screenshot of your data tables, any graphs, or other form of data organization to demonstrate that your group has a system for collecting and organizing your data. This should be fairly well thought out. You are encouraged to utilize or conduct additional research on how others have collected and organized similar data. It's o.k. to borrow ideas from other projects as long as it is data that your group will be able to collect. Take the time to think about how you want your data to look. Don't just throw it into a sloppy spreadsheet. Add a title or caption to explain where it came from, include units of measurement, etc. Use what your learned from the waste audit assignment on how to visualize information. This assignment is due Thursday 3/8 by 11pm and is worth 10 pts. I hope everyone has an excellent SPRING BREAK! en-us 2018-03-07 06:44:48 UTC 2024-10-16 04:44:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Tree benefits. WED. 1P.M. Lawrence, Sydney// Fryman, Kaleigh// Macuga, Joe// Anulies, Jack https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239342655 Along with benefits the trees provide, we will also be observing the trees and their health statuses. We have plans to inquire about policies regarding tree maintenance, health statuses, and the plan of action if the trees are not healthy. We will be looking at other campuses’ work on tree identification and how they applied their findings. ]]> 2018-03-07 19:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239342655 Police Fleet. Wednesday 1pm/Justin Dettenmayer, Nic Gallo, Jake Jarrett jtjarr7305 https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239350535 The data we still need to collect is the gear inside the cars and how they affect the performance of the cars. Also look for more fleets from previous studies that follow our model and standards. Establish a meeting police chief to get more detailed information.]]> 2018-03-07 19:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239350535 Green Roofs, Wednesday 1 pm/ Taylor Salinas, Nicolas Rhoades, Sarah Smith tasali3173 https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239353573 As we are just beginning, we still have to run experiments on soil type, temperatures, base layer types, and water pH levels along with the plant health. ]]> 2018-03-07 19:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239353573 Water Fill Stations, Wednesday 1pm// Alyce Burnett, Isabella Varela, Aaron Stapleton https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239356295 As we have begun our research we ran into some road blocks with gathering POD data. We now must wait until after Spring Break to gather information, but we were able to use the Water fountain spreadsheet to compile a pie graph of fill stations vs. fountains. ]]> 2018-03-07 19:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239356295 Water Fill Station, Wednesday 1PM / Colin O'Leary, Connor Coots, Marisa Alvarez cpolea1153 https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239373721 We have conducted data in Donovan Hall by collecting data from the water bottle refill stations ion each floor. we plan on furthering our data collection by surveying cadets and residents in order to see the impacts that water refill stations will have on the environment if we are able to add more stations to the residential areas on campus (specifically in Patriot Hall) ]]> 2018-03-07 19:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239373721 Hybrid Shuttles. Wednesday 1pm/ Tyler Etheridge and Corey Vascocu https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239479181 One of our main goals for our project is to put together a price comparison with accurate information. We have not settled on a specific replacement shuttle yet, so these numbers come from general averages that we have found when comparing two similarly sized vehicles. It has been difficult to find a replacement vehicle that also provides all of the specs we would need to make a fair assessment.]]> 2018-03-08 02:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239479181 Solar Energy, Wednesday 1 PM / Jared Eggleston, Hannah Wilde, Bailey Fields, Shane Carroll, Maddox Turner eggleston_jared https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239486379 We have collected data on UNG's energy cost and use. We have also gathered the size general area off site that the solar panels could be placed. We have emails out to find more data on the costs associated with installation, maintenance, etc. 

]]> 2018-03-08 02:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239486379 Campus Carpooling, Wednesday 1PM / Abby Moton and Sarah Belland https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239697601 Our projet is based around the data we will collect from our fellow peers, through a survey. We have put together a rough draft of our survey with essentially the questions, or similar questions, to the ones we will use for our final. This survey will allow us to receive feedback from the people that our project will benefit the most. We also plan on designing either an app or website based on the results from the survey. We intend on conducting this survey the second Wednesday back from spring break. We hope to get in touch with Flush Flash to get the word out about our survey and also plan on visiting the Gainesville since they already have a carpooling lot.]]> 2018-03-08 15:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239697601 Recycling in the Suites, Thursday 3:30. Dawson Fricks, Tom Boest, Zach Kennedy https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239933700 We have collected data from the residents of the suites through polling that asked several simple questions, evidenced by our graphs below. Even from this small sample size it is shown that recycling tendencies are not where they need to be. Our project, in the coming weeks will focus our efforts on gathering information about the costs of the current collection bins, and the costs to replace them with new recycling bins. We will also determine the number of rooms in the suites, the number of residents and number of recycling bins in the rooms. This can be accomplished through a paper survey on doors. We hope to get in touch with Res Life soon to implement changes.]]> 2018-03-08 21:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239933700 Eco Fees, Thursday 3:30. Maddie Smith, Katie Young, Rachel Bailey, Kaleigh Adams https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239952313 We have collected data from our residence halls and classes to gather some raw data to give us an idea of what our later data may entail. We collected in Donovan Hall and the North Georgia Suites, and also in Dunlap Hall. We still have more data to collect after spring break, and shown here is only part of the data we have collected thus far (Padlet won't let us add our 2nd screenshot, nor will it let us delete the second copy of the first screenshot- sorry there are two of the same thing!) ]]> 2018-03-08 22:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239952313 Donovan Bottle Refill Stations - Thursday 3:30 - Carson Alday, Jeremy Bemis, Sydney Cason, Christopher Hesse https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239954824 Our collected data has come from the water bottle refill stations in Donovan Hall. We have been tracking the number of bottles saved by the machines in two week increments. The unit of measurement is an approximately 16.9 fluid ounce water bottle. This data is depicted in separate tables for each 'wing' of the residence. We have also created a yes/no survey we will ask residents of Donovan to complete. This survey will show us the impact these stations are making in the everyday behavior of the residents. ]]> 2018-03-08 22:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239954824 Trees Thursday 3:30 Korinn, Kelsey, Lauren kmstep4687 https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239974706 We are attending a class Friday 3/9 at 10:00 with Professor Bailey to learn how to use the iPad. After spring break we are taking the iPad and graphing more trees we come across that have not already been graphed. Then we have questions we will ask to determine the tree and the purpose of it. ]]> 2018-03-09 00:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239974706 Local Food 1pm Karenna, Manuel, Lauren karennapaul13 https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239990776 2018-03-09 02:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/239990776 Energy Consumption in the Rec Center, Thurs 3.30 Tatum, Laine, Mads, Logan https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/240005898 We have tried to collect data from the stair master exercise machine that is used often and an arm rotating workout machine that is rarely used. We discovered that we were measuring the energy in volts rather than kilo-watts which is what we needed. Therefore, our data is incomplete right now. We are going to look at the use over the period 3 weeks as suggested and average the energy used in order to compile a recommendation for beneficial and resourceful changes to equipment in the Rec Center. ]]> 2018-03-09 03:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/240005898 Power Usage by Monitors 3:30 thurs Chelsey, Daizah, Zach https://padlet.com/bigoriver/tjqle4zvaqhp/wish/240397680
We attempted gathering further information by forming questions to ask the IT department, sadly on both Thursday and Friday we could not get the answer to the questions. We emailed multiple higher ups in the IT department (TSS) that we were directed to and we have emailed multiple people but we have yet to have a response from them. Below are the questions and some example tables for us to put our data into once collected after the break.
