Throughout the quarter, you have contributed your understanding of concepts related to Sustainability and Technology via your work on the knowledge graph project. In Week 10, you viewed and reflected on a visualization of the collective knowledge generated by this project. This week, you will evaluate a randomly-assigned subset of the collective knowledge.
This assignment is divided into two parts: you will work on reviewing beliefs generated by your fellow classmates in their knowledge graph assignments, and write a short reflection on your overall experience with the knowledge graph project.
Part 1: Peer Review
A .csv (comma-separated values) file is simply a text-based representation of a spreadsheet, where each line in the file indicates a row in the spreadsheet, and commas indicate where a new column should begin. For part 1, you will receive a .csv file to your e-mail. It will contain a list of 45 beliefs randomly pulled from the collective knowledge base generated from all 3 of the knowledge graph submissions. It will be your job to decide whether you agree or disagree with each of the beliefs.
We recommend using Microsoft Excel to view and edit the .csv (if you don’t have Excel, Google Sheets would also work); however we ask that you submit your finished work in .csv format, not custom spreadsheet formats such as Excel’s .xlsx or .xls. We also recommend that upon receiving the file, you open it in a text editor first in order to familiarize yourself with the .csv format of data storage.
The screenshot below shows an example .csv file with just 10 statements as it appears in a text editor. Note that the first row of the file contains the column names. The two empty columns that you will fill in (“Agree” and “Disagree”) are represented by the two commas at the end of each row.
Part 2: Reflection
For this part of the assignment, you will write and submit a short reflection (at least 150 words; no upper limit) on the knowledge graph assignments. You may want to discuss the process you used to initially construct your knowledge graph for Assignment 1, how you decided what changes to make in Assignments 2 and 3, your experience interacting with the collectively generated knowledge graph in Assignment 4, your experience evaluating your peers’ content in the first part of this assignment, and especially whether any aspects of the knowledge graph assignments changed your perspective on the topics of this course.
Please submit your reflection writeup as a .pdf.
