 ## Where to get Data
 
 There are many possible sources of data, and it will be impossible to list all of them! However, let's mention some of the typical places where you can get data:
 
+* **Structured**
+  - **Internet of Things**, including data from different sensors, such as temperature or pressure sensors, provides a lot of useful data. For example, if an office building is equipped with IoT sensors, we can automatically control heating and lighting in order to minimize costs. 
+  - **Surveys** that we ask users after purchase of a good, or after visiting a web site.
+  - **Analysis of behavior** can, for example, help us understand how deeply a user goes into a site, and what is the typical reason for leaving the site.
+* **Unstructured**
+  - **Texts** can be a rich source of insights, starting from overall **sentiment score**, up to extracting keywords and even some semantic meaning.
+  - **Images** or **Video**. A video from surveillance camera can be used to estimate traffic on the road, and inform people about potential traffic jams.
+  - Web server **Logs** can be used to understand which pages of our site are most visited, and for how long.
+* Semi-structured
+  - **Social Network** graph can be a great source of data about user personality and potential effectiveness in spreading information around.
+  - When we have a bunch of photographs from a party, we can try to extract **Group Dynamics** data by building a graph of people taking pictures with each other.
+
+By knowing different possible sources of data, you can try to think about different scenarios where data science techniques can be applied to know the situation better, and to improve business processes. 
+
 ## What you can do with Data
 
+In Data Science, we focus on the following steps of data journey:
+
+<dl>
+<dt>1) Data Acquisition</dt>
+<dd>
+First step is to collect the data. While in many cases it can be a straightforward process, like data coming to a database from web application, sometimes we need to use special techniques. For example, data from IoT sensors can be overwhelming, and it is a good practice to use buffering endpoints such as IoT Hub to collect all the data before further processing.
+</dd>
+<dt>2) Data Storage</dt>
+<dd>
+Storing the data can be challenging, especially if we are talking about big data. When deciding how to store data, it makes sense to anticipate the way you would want later on to query them. There are several ways data can be stored:
+<ul>
+<li>Relational database stores a collection of tables, and uses a special language called SQL to query them. Typically, tables would be connected to each other using some schema. In many cases we need to convert the data from original form to fit the schema.</li>
+<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL">NoSQL</a> database, such as <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cosmos-db/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso">CosmosDB</a>, does not enforce schema on data, and allows storing more complex data, for example, hierarchical JSON documents or graphs. However, NoSQL database does not have rich querying capabilities of SQL, and cannot enforce referential integrity between data.</li>
+<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_lake">Data Lake</a> storage is used for large collections of data in raw form. Data lakes are often used with big data, where all data cannot fit into one machine, and has to be stored and processed by a cluster. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Parquet">Parquet</a> is the data format that is often used in conjunction with big data.</li> 
+</ul>
+</dd>
+<dt>3) Data Processing</dt>
+<dd>
+This is the most exciting part of data journey, which involved processing the data from its original form to the form that can be used for visualization/model training. When dealing with unstructured data such as text or images, we may need to use some AI techniques to extract **features** from the data, thus converting it to structured form.
+</dd>
+<dt>4) Visualization / Human Insights</dt>
+<dd>
+Often to understand the data we need to visualize them. Having many different visualization techniques in our toolbox we can find the right view to make an insight. Often, data scientist needs to "play with data", visualizing it many times and looking for some relationships. Also, we may use techniques from statistics to test some hypotheses or prove correlation between different pieces of data.   
+</dd>
+<dt>5) Training predictive model</dt>
+<dd>
+Because the ultimate goal of data science is to be able to take decisions based on data, we may want to use the techniques of <a href="http://github.com/microsoft/ml-for-beginners">Machine Learning</a> to build predictive model that will be able to solve our problem.
+</dd>
+</dl>
 
+Of course, depending on the actual data some steps might be missing (eg., when we already have the data in the database, or when we do not need model training), or some steps might be repeated several times (such as data processing).

+We are all data citizens living in a datafied world.
+
+Market trends tell us that by 2022, 1-in-3 large organizations will buy and sell their data through online [Marketplaces and Exchanges](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/gartner-top-10-trends-in-data-and-analytics-for-2020/). As **App Developers**, we'll find it easier and cheaper to integrate data-driven insights and algorithm-driven automation into daily user experiences. But as AI becomes pervasive, we'll also need to understand the potential harms caused by the [weaponization](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQHs8SA1qpk) of such algorithms at scale.
+
+Trends also indicate that we will create and consume over [180 zettabytes](https://www.statista.com/statistics/871513/worldwide-data-created/) of data by 2025. As **Data Scientists**, this gives us unprecedented levels of access to personal data. This means we can build behavioral profiles of users and influence decision-making in ways that create an [illusion of free choice](https://www.datasciencecentral.com/profiles/blogs/the-illusion-of-choice) while potentially nudging users towards outcomes we prefer. It also raises broader questions on data privacy and user protections.
+
+Data ethics are now _necessary guardrails_ for data science and engineering, helping us minimize potential harms and unintended consequences from our data-driven actions. The [Gartner Hype Cycle for AI](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/2-megatrends-dominate-the-gartner-hype-cycle-for-artificial-intelligence-2020/) identifies relevant trends in digital ethics, responsible AI ,and AI governances as key drivers for larger megatrends around _democratization_ and _industrialization_ of AI.

+## [Pre-lecture quiz](https://red-water-0103e7a0f.azurestaticapps.net/quiz/2) 🎯
+
+## Basic Definitions
+
+Let's start by understanding the basic terminology.
+
+The word "ethics" comes from the [Greek word "ethikos"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics) (and its root "ethos") meaning _character or moral nature_. 
+
+**Ethics** is about the shared values and moral principles that govern our behavior in society. Ethics is based not on laws but on
+widely accepted norms of what is "right vs. wrong". However, ethical considerations can influence corporate governance initiatives and government regulations that create more incentives for compliance.
+
+**Data Ethics** is a [new branch of ethics](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsta.2016.0360#sec-1) that "studies and evaluates moral problems related to _data, algorithms and corresponding practices_". Here, **"data"** focuses on actions related to generation, recording, curation, processing dissemination, sharing ,and usage, **"algorithms"** focuses on AI, agents, machine learning ,and robots, and **"practices"** focuses on topics like responsible innovation, programming, hacking and ethics codes.
+
+**Applied Ethics** is the [practical application of moral considerations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_ethics). It's the process of actively investigating ethical issues in the context of _real-world actions, products and processes_, and taking corrective measures to make that these remain aligned with our defined ethical values.
+
+**Ethics Culture** is about [_operationalizing_ applied ethics](https://hbr.org/2019/05/how-to-design-an-ethical-organization) to make sure that our ethical principles and practices are adopted in a consistent and scalable manner across the entire organization. Successful ethics cultures define organization-wide ethical principles, provide meaningful incentives for compliance, and reinforce ethics norms by encouraging and amplifying desired behaviors at every level of the organization.
+
+
+## Ethics Concepts
 
-## Sketchnote 🖼
+In this section, we'll discuss concepts like **shared values** (principles) and **ethical challenges** (problems) for data ethics - and explore **case studies** that help you understand these concepts in real-world contexts.
 
-> A Visual Guide to Data Ethics by [Nitya Narasimhan](https://twitter.com/nitya) / [(@sketchthedocs)](https://sketchthedocs.dev)
+### 1. Ethics Principles
 
+Every data ethics strategy begins by defining _ethical principles_ - the "shared values" that describe acceptable behaviors, and guide compliant actions, in our data & AI projects. You can define these at an individual or team level. However, most large organizations outline these in an _ethical AI_ mission statement or framework that is defined at corporate levels and enforced consistently across all teams.
 
-## 1. Introduction
+**Example:** Microsoft's [Responsible AI](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai) mission statement reads: _"We are committed to the advancement of AI-driven by ethical principles that put people first"_ - identifying 6 ethical principles in the framework below:
 
-This lesson will look at the field of _data ethics_ - from core concepts (ethical challenges & societal consequences) to applied ethics (ethical principles, practices and culture). Let's start with the basics: definitions and motivations.
+![Responsible AI at Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cognitive-services/personalizer/media/ethics-and-responsible-use/ai-values-future-computed.png)
 
-### 1.1 Definitions
+Let's briefly explore these principles. _Transparency_ and _accountability_ are foundational values that other principles built upon - so let's begin there:
 
-**Ethics** [comes from the Greek word "ethikos" and its root "ethos"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics). It refers to the set of _shared values and moral principles_ that govern our behavior in society and is based on widely-accepted ideas of _right vs. wrong_. Ethics are not laws! They can't be legally enforced but they can influence corporate initiatives and government regulations that help with compliance and governance.
+* [**Accountability**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1:primaryr6) makes practitioners _responsible_ for their data & AI operations, and compliance with these ethical principles.
+* [**Transparency**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1:primaryr6) ensures that data and AI actions are _understandable_ (interpretable) to users, explaining the what and why behind decisions.
+* [**Fairness**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1%3aprimaryr6) - focuses on ensuring AI treats _all people_ fairly, addressing any systemic or implicit socio-technical biases in data and systems.
+* [**Reliability & Safety**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1:primaryr6) - ensures that AI behaves _consistently_ with defined values, minimizing potential harms or unintended consequences.
+* [**Privacy & Security**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1:primaryr6) - is about understanding data lineage, and providing _data privacy and related protections_ to users.
+* [**Inclusiveness**](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai?activetab=pivot1:primaryr6) - is about designing AI solutions with intention, adapting them to meet a _broad range of human needs_ & capabilities.
 
-**Data Ethics** is [defined as a new branch of ethics](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsta.2016.0360#sec-1) that "studies and evaluates moral problems related to _data, algorithms and corresponding practices_ .. to formulate and support morally good solutions" where:
+> 🚨 Think about what your data ethics mission statement could be. Explore ethical AI frameworks from other organizations - here are examples from [IBM](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/ai-ethics), [Google](https://ai.google/principles) ,and [Facebook](https://ai.facebook.com/blog/facebooks-five-pillars-of-responsible-ai/). What shared values do they have in common? How do these principles relate to the AI product or industry they operate in?
- * `data` = generation, recording, curation, dissemination, sharing and usage
- * `algorithms` = AI, machine learning, bots
- * `practices` = responsible innovation, ethical hacking, codes of conduct
 
-**Applied Ethics** is the [_practical application of moral considerations_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_ethics). If focuses on understanding how ethical issues impact real-world actions, products and processes, by asking moral questions - like _"is this fair?"_ and _"how can this harm individuals or society as a whole?"_ when working with big data and AI algorithms. Applied ethics practices can then focus on taking corrective measures - like employing checklists (_"did we test data model accruacy with diverse groups, for fairness?"_) - to minimize or prevent any unintended consequences.
+### 2. Ethics Challenges
 
-**Ethics Culture**: Applied ethics focuses on identifying moral questions and adopting ethically-motivated actions with respect to real-world scenarios and projects. Ethics culture is about _operationalizing_ these practices, collaboratively and at scale, to ensure governances at the scale of organizations and industries. [Establishing an ethics culture](https://hbr.org/2019/05/how-to-design-an-ethical-organization) requires identifying and addressing _systemic_ issues (historical or ingrained) and creating norms & incentives htat keep members accountable for adherence to ethical principles.
+Once we have ethical principles defined, the next step is to evaluate our data and AI actions to see if they align with those shared values. Think about your actions in two categories: _data collection_ and _algorithm design_. 
 
+With data collection, actions will likely involve **personal data** or personally identifiable information (PII) for identifiable living individuals. This includes [diverse items of non-personal data](https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en) that _collectively_ identify an individual. Ethical challenges can relate to _data privacy_, _data ownership_, and related topics like _informed consent_ and _intellectual property rights_ for users.
 
-### 1.2 Motivation
+With algorithm design, actions will involve collecting & curating **datasets**, then using them to train & deploy **data models** that predict outcomes or automate decisions in real-world contexts. Ethical challenges can arise from _dataset bias_, _data quality_ issues, _unfairness_ ,and _misrepresentation_ in algorithms - including some issues that are systemic in nature.
 
-Let's look at some emerging trends in big data and AI:
+In both cases, ethics challenges highlight areas where our actions may encounter conflict with our shared values. To detect, mitigate, minimize, or eliminate, these concerns - we need to ask moral "yes/no" questions related to our actions, then take corrective actions as needed. Let's take a look at some ethical challenges and the moral questions they raise:
 
- * [By 2022](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/gartner-top-10-trends-in-data-and-analytics-for-2020/) one-in-three large organizations will buy and sell data via online Marketplaces and Exchanges.
- * [By 2025](https://www.statista.com/statistics/871513/worldwide-data-created/) we'll be creating and consuming over 180 zettabytes of data.
 
-**Data scientists** will have unimaginable levels of access to personal and behavioral data, helping them develop the algorithms to fuel an AI-driven economy. This raises data ethics issues around _protection of data privacy_ with implications for individual rights around personal data collection and usage.
+#### 2.1 Data Ownership
 
-**App developers** will find it easier and cheaper to integrate AI into everday consumer experiences, thanks to the economies of scale and efficiencies of distribution in centralized exchanges. This raises ethical issues around the [_weaponization of AI_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQHs8SA1qpk) with implications for societal harms caused by unfairness, misrepresentation and systemic biases.
+Data collection often involves personal data that can identify the data subjects. [Data ownership](https://permission.io/blog/data-ownership) is about _control_ and [_user rights_](https://permission.io/blog/data-ownership) related to the creation, processing ,and dissemination of data. 
 
-**Democratization and Industrialization of AI** are seen as the two megatrends in Gartner's 2020 [Hype Cycle for AI](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/2-megatrends-dominate-the-gartner-hype-cycle-for-artificial-intelligence-2020/), shown below. The first positions developers to be a major force in driving increased AI adoption, while the second makes responsible AI and governance a priority for industries. 
+The moral questions we need to ask are: 
+ * Who owns the data? (user or organization)
+ * What rights do data subjects have? (ex: access, erasure, portability)
+ * What rights do organizations have? (ex: rectify malicious user reviews)
 
+#### 2.2 Informed Consent
 
-![](https://images-cdn.newscred.com/Zz1mOWJhNzlkNDA2ZTMxMWViYjRiOGFiM2IyMjQ1YmMwZQ==)
+[Informed consent](https://legaldictionary.net/informed-consent/) defines the act of users agreeing to an action (like data collection) with a _full understanding_ of relevant facts including the purpose, potential risks ,and alternatives. 
 
-Data ethics are now **necessary guardrails** ensuring developers ask the right moral questions and adopt the right practices (to uphold ethical values). And they influence the regulations and frameworks defined (for governance) by governments and organizations.
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Did the user (data subject) give permission for data capture and usage?
+ * Did the user understand the purpose for which that data was captured?
+ * Did the user understand the potential risks from  their participation?
 
+#### 2.3 Intellectual Property
 
-## 2. Core Concepts
+[Intellectual property](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property) refers to intangible creations resulting from the human initiative, that may _have economic value_ to individuals or businesses. 
 
-A data ethics culture requires an understanding of three things: the _shared values_ we embrace as a society, the _moral questions_ we ask (to ensure adherence to those values), and the potential _harms & consequences_ (of non-adherence).
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Did the collected data have economic value to a user or business?
+ * Does the **user** have intellectual property here?
+ * Does the **organization** have intellectual property here?
+ * If these rights exist, how are we protecting them?
 
-### 2.1 Ethical AI Values
+#### 2.4 Data Privacy
 
-Our shared values reflect our ideas of wrong-vs-right when it comes to big data and AI. Different organizations have their own views of what responsible AI and ethical AI principles look like. 
+[Data privacy](https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/blog/what-is-data-privacy/) or information privacy refers to the preservation of user privacy and protection of user identity with respect to personally identifiable information. 
 
-Here is an example - the [Responsible AI Framework](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cognitive-services/personalizer/media/ethics-and-responsible-use/ai-values-future-computed.png) from Microsoft defines 6 core ethics principles for all products and processes to follow, when implementing AI solutions:
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Is users' (personal) data secured against hacks and leaks?
+ * Is users' data accessible only to authorized users and contexts?
+ * Is users' anonymity preserved when data is shared or disseminated?
+ * Can a user be de-identified from anonymized datasets?
 
- * **Accountability**: ensure AI designers & developers take _responsibility_ for its operation.
- * **Transparency**: make AI operations and decisions _understandable_ to users.
- * **Fairness**: understand biases and ensure AI _behaves comparably_ across target groups.
- * **Reliability & Safety**: make sure AI behaves consistently, and _without malicious intent_.
- * **Security & Privacy**: get _informed consent_ for data collection, provide data privacy controls.
- * **Inclusiveness**: adapt AI behaviors to _broad range of human needs_ and capabilities.
 
-![Elements of an Responsible AI Framework at Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cognitive-services/personalizer/media/ethics-and-responsible-use/ai-values-future-computed.png)
+#### 2.5 Right To Be Forgotten
 
-Note that accountability and transparency are _cross-cutting_ concerns that are foundational to the top 4 values, and can be explored in their contexts. In the next section we'll look at the ethical challenges (moral questions) raised in two core contexts:
+The [Right To Be Forgotten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten) or [Right to Erasure](https://www.gdpreu.org/right-to-be-forgotten/) provides additional personal data protection to users. Specifically, it gives users the right to request deletion or removal of personal data from Internet searches and other locations, _under specific circumstances_ - allowing them a fresh start online without past actions being held against them.
 
- * Data Privacy - focused on **personal data** collection & use, with consequences to individuals.
+Questions to explore here are:
- * Fairness - focused on **algorithm** design & use, with consequences to society at large.
+ * Does the system allow data subjects to request erasure?
+ * Should the withdrawal of user consent trigger automated erasure?
+ * Was data collected without consent or by unlawful means?
+ * Are we compliant with government regulations for data privacy?
 
-### 2.2 Ethics of Personal Data
 
-[Personal data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_data) or personally-identifiable information (PII) is _any data that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual_. It can also [extend to diverse pieces of non-personal data](https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en) that collectively can lead to the identification of a specific individual. Examples include: participant data from research studies, social media interactions, mobile & web app data, online commerce transactions and more.
+#### 2.6 Dataset Bias
 
-Here are _some_ ethical concepts and moral questions to explore in context:
+Dataset or [Collection Bias](http://researcharticles.com/index.php/bias-in-data-collection-in-research/) is about selecting a _non-representative_ subset of data for algorithm development, creating potential  unfairness in result outcomes for diverse groups. Types of bias include selection or sampling bias, volunteer bias, and instrument bias. 
 
-* **Data Ownership**. Who owns the data - user or organization? How does this impact users' rights?
+Questions to explore here are:
-* **Informed Consent**. Did users give permissions for data capture? Did they understand purpose?
+ * Did we recruit a representative set of data subjects?
-* **Intellectual Property**. Does data have economic value? What are the users' rights & controls?
+ * Did we test our collected or curated dataset for various biases?
-* **Data Privacy**. Is data secured from hacks/leaks? Is anonymity preserved on data use or sharing?
+ * Can we mitigate or remove any discovered biases?
-* **Right to be Forgotten**. Can user request their data be deleted or removed to reclaim privacy?
 
-### 2.3 Ethics of Algorithms
+#### 2.7 Data Quality
 
-Algorithm design begins with collecting & curating datasets relevant to a specific AI problem or domain, then processing & analyzing it to create models that can help predict outcomes or automate decisions in real-world applications. Moral questions can now arise in various contexts, at any one of these stages.
+[Data Quality](https://lakefs.io/data-quality-testing/) looks at the validity of the curated dataset used to develop our algorithms, checking to see if features and records meet requirements for the level of accuracy and consistency needed for our AI purpose.
 
-Here are _some_ ethical concepts and moral questions to explore in context:
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Did we capture valid _features_ for our use case?
+ * Was data captured _consistently_ across diverse data sources?
+ * Is the dataset _complete_ for diverse conditions or scenarios?
+ * Is information captured _accurately_ in reflecting reality?
 
-* **Dataset Bias** - Is data representative of target audience? Have we checked for different [data biases](https://towardsdatascience.com/survey-d4f168791e57)?
+#### 2.8 Algorithm Fairness
-* **Data Quality** - Does dataset and feature selection provide the required [data quality assurance](https://lakefs.io/data-quality-testing/)?
-* **Algorithm Fairness** - Does the data model [systematically discriminate](https://towardsdatascience.com/what-is-algorithm-fairness-3182e161cf9f) against some subgroups?
-* **Misrepresentation** - Are we [communicating honestly reported data in a deceptive manner?](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/misrepresentation)
-* **Explainable AI** - Are the results of AI [understandable by humans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explainable_artificial_intelligence)? White-box (vs. black-box) models.
-* **Free Choice** - Did user exercise free will or did algorithm nudge them towards a desired outcome?
 
-### 2.3 Case Studies
+[Algorithm Fairness](https://towardsdatascience.com/what-is-algorithm-fairness-3182e161cf9f) checks to see if the algorithm design systematically discriminates against specific subgroups of data subjects leading to [potential harms](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-fairness-ml) in _allocation_ (where resources are denied or withheld from that group) and _quality of service_ (where AI is not as accurate for some subgroups as it is for others). 
 
-The above are a subset of the core ethical challenges posed for big data and AI. More organizations are defining and adopting _responsible AI_ or _ethical AI_ frameworks that may identify additional shared values and related ethical challenges for specific domains or needs. 
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Did we evaluate model accuracy for diverse subgroups and conditions?
+ * Did we scrutinize the system for potential harms (e.g., stereotyping)?
+ * Can we revise data or retrain models to mitigate identified harms?
 
-To understand the potential _harms and consequences_ of neglecting or violating these data ethics principles, it helps to explore this in a real-world context. Here are some famous case studies and recent examples to get you started:
+Explore resources like [AI Fairness checklists](https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com/cms/api/am/binary/RE4t6dA) to learn more.
 
+#### 2.9 Misrepresentation
 
-* `1972`: The [Tuskegee Syphillis Study](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study) is a landmark case study for **informed consent** in data science. African American men who participated in the study were promised free medical care _but deceived_ by researchers who failed to inform subjects of their diagnosis or about availability of treatment. Many subjects died; some partners or children were affected by complications. The study lasted 40 years.
+[Data Misrepresentation](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/misrepresentation) is about asking whether we are communicating insights from honestly reported data in a deceptive manner to support a desired narrative. 
-* `2007`: The Netflix data prize provided researchers with [_10M anonymized movie rankings from 50K customers_](https://www.wired.com/2007/12/why-anonymous-data-sometimes-isnt/) to help improve recommendation algorithms. This became a landmark case study in **de-identification (data privacy)** where researchers were able to correlate the anonymized data with _other datasets_ (e.g., IMDb) that had personally identifiable information - helping them "de-anonymize" users.
-* `2013`: The City of Boston [developed Street Bump](https://www.boston.gov/transportation/street-bump), an app that let citizens report potholes, giving the city better roadway data to find and fix issues. This became a case study for **collection bias** where [people in lower income groups had less access to cars and phones](https://hbr.org/2013/04/the-hidden-biases-in-big-data), making their roadway issues invisible in this app. Developers worked with academics to _equitable access and digital divides_ issues for fairness.
-* `2018`: The MIT [Gender Shades Study](http://gendershades.org/overview.html) evaluated the accuracy of gender classification AI products, exposing gaps in accuracy for women and persons of color. A [2019 Apple Card](https://www.wired.com/story/the-apple-card-didnt-see-genderand-thats-the-problem/) seemed to offer less credit to women than men. Both these illustrated issues in **algorithmic fairness** and discrimination.
-* `2020`: The [Georgia Department of Public Health released COVID-19 charts](https://www.vox.com/covid-19-coronavirus-us-response-trump/2020/5/18/21262265/georgia-covid-19-cases-declining-reopening) that appeared to mislead citizens about trends in confirmed cases with non-chronological ordering on the x-axis. This illustrates **data misrepresentation** where honest data is presented dishonestly to support a desired narrative.
-* `2020`: Learning app [ABCmouse paid $10M to settle an FTC complaint](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/09/04/abcmouse-10-million-ftc-settlement/) where parents were trapped into paying for subscriptions they couldn't cancel. This highlights the **illusion of free choice** in algorithmic decision-making, and potential harms from dark patterns that exploit user insights.
-* `2021`: Facebook [Data Breach](https://www.npr.org/2021/04/09/986005820/after-data-breach-exposes-530-million-facebook-says-it-will-not-notify-users) exposed data from 530M users, resulting in a $5B settlement to the FTC. It however refused to notify users of the breach - raising issues like **data privacy**, **data security** and **accountability**, including user rights to redress for those affected.
 
-Want to explore more case studies on your own? Check out these resources:
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Are we reporting incomplete or inaccurate data?
+ * Are we visualizing data in a manner that drives misleading conclusions?
+ * Are we using selective statistical techniques to manipulate outcomes?
+ * Are there alternative explanations that may offer a different conclusion?
 
+#### 2.10 Free Choice
+The [Illusion of Free Choice](https://www.datasciencecentral.com/profiles/blogs/the-illusion-of-choice) occurs when system "choice architectures" use decision-making algorithms to nudge people towards taking a preferred outcome while seeming to give them options and control. These [dark patterns](https://www.darkpatterns.org/) can cause social and economic harm to users. Because user decisions impact behavior profiles, these actions potentially drive future choices that can amplify or extend the impact of these harms.
+
+Questions to explore here are:
+ * Did the user understand the implications of making that choice?
+ * Was the user aware of (alternative) choices and the pros & cons of each?
+ * Can the user reverse an automated or influenced choice later?
+
+### 3. Case Studies
+
+To put these ethical challenges in real-world contexts, it helps to look at case studies that highlight the potential harms and consequences to individuals and society, when such ethics violations are overlooked. 
+
+Here are a few examples:
+
+| Ethics Challenge | Case Study  | 
+|--- |--- |
+| **Informed Consent** | 1972 - [Tuskegee Syphillis Study](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study) - African American men who participated in the study were promised free medical care _but deceived_ by researchers who failed to inform subjects of their diagnosis or about availability of treatment.

However, researchers were able to correlate anonymized data with personally-identifiable data in _external datasets_ (e.g., IMDb comments) - effectively "de-anonymizing" some Netflix subscribers.|
+| **Collection Bias**  | 2013 - The City of Boston [developed Street Bump](https://www.boston.gov/transportation/street-bump), an app that let citizens report potholes, giving the city better roadway data to find and fix issues.

-## 3. Applied Ethics
+> 🚨 Think about the case studies you've seen - have you experienced, or been affected by, a similar ethical challenge in your life? Can you think of at least one other case study that illustrates one of the ethical challenges we've discussed in this section?
 
-We've learned about data ethics values, and the ethical challenges (+ moral questions) associated with adherence to these values. But how do we _implement_ these ideas in real-world contexts? Here are some tools & practices that can help.
+## Applied Ethics
 
-### 3.1 Have Professional Codes
+We've talked about ethics concepts, challenges ,and case studies in real-world contexts. But how do we get started _applying_ ethical principles and practices in our projects? And how do we _operationalize_ these practices for better governance? Let's explore some real-world solutions: 
 
-Professional codes are _moral guidelines_ for professional behavior, helping employees or members _make decisions that align with organizational principles_. Codes may not be legally enforceable, making them only as good as the willing compliance of members. An organization may inspire adherence by imposing incentives & penalties accordingly.
+### 1. Professional Codes
 
-Professional _codes of conduct_ are prescriptive rules and responsibilities that members must follow to remain in good standing with an organization. A professional *code of ethics* is more [_aspirational_](https://keydifferences.com/difference-between-code-of-ethics-and-code-of-conduct.html), defining the shared values and ideas of the organization. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
+Professional Codes offer one option for organizations to "incentivize" members to support their ethical principles and mission statement. Codes are _moral guidelines_ for professional behavior, helping employees or members make decisions that align with their organization's principles. They are only as good as the voluntary compliance from members; however, many organizations offer additional rewards and penalties to motivate compliance from members.

-### 3.2 Ask Moral Questions
+### 2. Ethics Checklists
-
-Assuming you've already identified your shared values or ethical principles at a team or organization level, the next step is to identify the moral questions relevant to your specific use case and operational workflow.
-
-Here are [6 basic questions about data ethics](https://halpert3.medium.com/six-questions-about-data-science-ethics-252b5ae31fec) that you can build on:
 
-* Is the data you're collecting fair and unbiased?
+While professional codes define required _ethical behavior_ from practitioners, they [have known limitations](https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/0636920203964/blob/master/of_oaths_and_checklists.md) in enforcement, particularly in large-scale projects. Instead, many data Science experts [advocate for checklists](https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/0636920203964/blob/master/of_oaths_and_checklists.md), that can **connect principles to practices** in more deterministic and actionable ways. 
-* Is the data being used ethically and fairly?
-* Is user privacy being protected?
-* To whom does data belong - the company or the user?
-* What effects do the data and algorithms have on society (individual and collective)?
-* Is the data manipulated or deceptive?
 
-For larger team or project scope, you can choose to expand on questions that reflect a specific stage of the workflow. For example here are [22 questions on ethics in data and AI](https://medium.com/the-organization/22-questions-for-ethics-in-data-and-ai-efb68fd19429) that were grouped into _design_, _implementation & management_, _systems & organization_ categories for convenience.
+Checklists convert questions into "yes/no" tasks that can be operationalized, allowing them to be tracked as part of standard product release workflows. 
 
-### 3.3 Adopt Ethics Checklists
+Examples include:
-
+ * [Deon](https://deon.drivendata.org/) - a general-purpose data ethics checklist created from [industry recommendations](https://deon.drivendata.org/#checklist-citations) with a command-line tool for easy integration.
-While professional codes define required _ethical behavior_ from practitioners, they [have known limitations](https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/0636920203964/blob/master/of_oaths_and_checklists.md) for implementation, particularly in large-scale projects. In [Ethics and Data Science](https://resources.oreilly.com/examples/0636920203964/blob/master/of_oaths_and_checklists.md)), experts instead advocate for ethics checklists that can **connect principles to practices** in more deterministic and actionable ways.
+ * [Privacy Audit Checklist](https://cyber.harvard.edu/ecommerce/privacyaudit.html) - provides general guidance for information handling practices from legal and social exposure perspectives.
+ * [AI Fairness Checklist](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/ai-fairness-checklist/) - created by AI practitioners to support the adoption and integration of fairness checks into AI development cycles.
+ * [22 questions for ethics in data and AI](https://medium.com/the-organization/22-questions-for-ethics-in-data-and-ai-efb68fd19429) - more open-ended framework, structured for initial exploration of ethical issues in design, implementation, and organizational, contexts.
 
-Checklists convert questions into "yes/no" tasks that can be tracked and validated before product release. Tools like [deon](https://deon.drivendata.org/) make this frictionless, creating default checklists aligned to [industry recommendations](https://deon.drivendata.org/#checklist-citations) and enabling users to customize and integrate them into workflows using a command-line tool. Deon also provides [real-world examples](ttps://deon.drivendata.org/examples/) of ethical challenges to provide context for these decisions.
+### 3. Ethics Regulations
 
-### 3.4 Track Ethics Compliance
+Ethics is about defining shared values and doing the right thing _voluntarily_. **Compliance** is about _following the law_ if and where defined. **Governance** broadly covers all the ways in which organizations operate to enforce ethical principles and comply with established laws.
 
-**Ethics** is about doing the right thing, even if there are no laws to enforce it. **Compliance** is about following the law, when defined and where applicable.
+Today, governance takes two forms within organizations. First, it's about defining **ethical AI** principles and establishing practices to operationalize adoption across all AI-related projects in the organization. Second, it's about complying with all government-mandated **data protection regulations** for regions it operates in.
-**Governance** is the broader umbrella that covers all the ways in which an organization (company or government) operates to enforce ethical principles & comply with laws.
 
-Companies are creating their own ethics frameworks (e.g., [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai), [IBM](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/ai-ethics), [Google](https://ai.google/principles), [Facebook](https://ai.facebook.com/blog/facebooks-five-pillars-of-responsible-ai/), [Accenture](https://www.accenture.com/_acnmedia/PDF-149/Accenture-Responsible-AI-Final.pdf#zoom=50)) for governances, while state and national governments tend to focus on regulations that protect the data privacy and rights of their citizens. 
+Examples of data protection and privacy regulations:
 
-Here are some landmark data privacy regulations to know:
+ * `1974`, [US Privacy Act](https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974) - regulates _federal govt._ collection, use ,and disclosure of personal information.
- * `1974`, [US Privacy Act](https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974) - regulates _federal govt._ collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
  * `1996`, [US Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA)](https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/publications/topic/hipaa.html) - protects personal health data.
  * `1998`, [US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule) - protects data privacy of children under 13.
- * `2018`, [General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gdpr-info.eu/) - provides user rights, data protection and privacy.
+ * `2018`, [General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gdpr-info.eu/) - provides user rights, data protection ,and privacy.
- * `2018`, [California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)](https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa) gives consumers more _rights_ over their personal data.
+ * `2018`, [California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)](https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa) gives consumers more _rights_ over their (personal) data.
+ * `2021`, China's [Personal Information Protection Law](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-passes-new-personal-data-privacy-law-take-effect-nov-1-2021-08-20/) just passed, creating one of the strongest online data privacy regulations worldwide.
 
-In Aug 2021, China passed the [Personal Information Protection Law](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-passes-new-personal-data-privacy-law-take-effect-nov-1-2021-08-20/) (to go into effect Nov 1) which, with its Data Security Law, will create one of the strongest online data privacy regulations in the world.
+> 🚨 The European Union defined GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) remains one of the most influential data privacy regulations today. Did you know it also defines [8 user rights](https://www.freeprivacypolicy.com/blog/8-user-rights-gdpr) to protect citizens' digital privacy and personal data? Learn about what these are, and why they matter.
 
 
-### 3.5 Establish Ethics Culture
+### 4. Ethics Culture
 
-There remains an intangible gap between compliance ("doing enough to meet the letter of the law") and addressing systemic issues ([like ossification, information asymmetry and distributional unfairness](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-science-ethics/home/week/4)) that can create self-fulfilling feedback loops to weaponizes AI further. This is motivating calls for [formalizing data ethics cultures](https://www.codeforamerica.org/news/formalizing-an-ethical-data-culture/) in organizations, where everyone is empowered to [pull the Andon cord](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andon_(manufacturing) to raise ethics concerns early. And exploring [collaborative approaches to defining this culture](https://towardsdatascience.com/why-ai-ethics-requires-a-culture-driven-approach-26f451afa29f) that build emotional connections and consistent beliefs across organizations and industries.
+Note that there remains an intangible gap between _compliance_ (doing enough to meet "the letter of the law") and addressing [systemic issues](https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-science-ethics/home/week/4) (like ossification, information asymmetry ,and distributional unfairness) that can speed up the weaponization of AI. 
+
+The latter requires [collaborative approaches to defining ethics cultures](https://towardsdatascience.com/why-ai-ethics-requires-a-culture-driven-approach-26f451afa29f) that build emotional connections and consistent shared values _across organizations_ in the industry. This calls for more [formalized data ethics cultures](https://www.codeforamerica.org/news/formalizing-an-ethical-data-culture/) in organizations - allowing _anyone_ to [pull the Andon cord](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andon_(manufacturing) (to raise ethics concerns early in the process) and making _ethical assessments_ (e.g., in hiring) a core criteria team formation in AI projects.

 Data are facts, information, observations and measurements that are used to make discoveries and to support informed decisions. A data point is a single unit of data with in a dataset, which is collection of data points. Datasets may come in different formats and structures, and will usually be based on its source, or where the data came from. For example, a company's monthly earnings might be in a spreadsheet but hourly heart rate data from a smartwatch may be in [JSON](https://stackoverflow.com/a/383699) format. It's common for data scientists to work with different types of data within a dataset.

 ## How Data is Described
-*Raw data* are data that has come from its source in its initial state and has not been analyzed or organized. In order to make sense of what is happening with a dataset, it needs to be organized into a format that can be understood by humans as well as the technology they may use to analyze it further. The structure of a dataset describes how it's organized and can be classified at structured, unstructured and semi-structured. These types of structure will vary, depending on the source but will ultimately fit in these three categories.

 ### Quantitative Data
 Quantitative data are numerical observations within a dataset and can typically be analyzed, measured and used mathematically. Some examples of quantitative data are: a country's population, a person's height or a company's quarterly earnings. With some additional analysis, quantitative data could be used to discover seasonal trends of the Air Quality Index (AQI) or estimate the probability of rush hour traffic on a typical work day.

 A data source is the initial location of where the data was generated, or where it "lives" and will vary based on how and when it was collected. Data generated by its user(s) are known as primary data while secondary data comes from a source that has collected data for general use. For example, a group of scientists collecting observations in a rainforest would be considered primary and if they decide to share it with other scientists it would be considered secondary to those that use it. 
 
-Databases are a common source and rely on a database management system to host and maintain the data where users use commands called queries to explore the data. Files as data sources can be audio, image, and video files as well as spreadsheets like Excel. Internet sources are a common location for hosting data, where databases as well as files can be found. Application programming interfaces, also known as APIs allow programmers to create ways to share data with external users through the internet, while the process of web scraping extracts data from a web page.

 Statistics and Probability Theory are two highly related areas of Mathematics that are highly relevant to Data Science. It is possible to operate with data without deep knowledge of mathematics, but it is still better to know at least some basic concepts. Here we will present a short introduction that will help you get started.

 ## Probability and Random Variables
 
 **Probability** is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses how probable an **event** is. It is defined as a number of positive outcomes (that lead to the event), divided by total number of outcomes, given that all outcomes are equally probable. For example, when we roll a dice, the probability that we get an even number is 3/6 = 0.5.
 
-When we talk about events, we use **random variables**. For example, the random variable that represents a number obtained when rolling a dice would take values from 1 to 6. Set of numbers from 1 to 6 is called **sample space**. We can talk about probability of a random variable taking a certain value, for example P(X=3)=1/6.

Set of numbers from 1 to 6 is called **sample space**. We can talk about the probability of a random variable taking a certain value, for example P(X=3)=1/6.
 
-The random variable in previous example is called **discrete**, because it has a countable sample space, i.e. there are separate values that can be enumerated. There are cases when sample space is a range of real numbers, or the whole set of real numbers. Such variables are called **continuous**. An good example is the time when the bus arrives.

It is often applied to categorical data, such as colors. Consider a situation when we have two groups of people - some that strongly prefer red, and others who prefer blue. If we code colors by numbers, the mean value for a favorite color would be somewhere in the orange-green spectrum, which does not indicate the actual preference on neither group. However, the mode would be either one of the colors, or both colors, if the number of people voting for them is equal (in this case we call the sample **multimodal**).

 ## Real-world Data
 
 When we analyze data from real life, they often are not random variables as such, in a sense that we do not perform experiments with unknown result. For example, consider a team of baseball players, and their body data, such as height, weight and age. Those numbers are not exactly random, but we can still apply the same mathematical concepts. For example, a sequence of people's weights can be considered to be a sequence of values drawn from some random variable. Below is the sequence of weights of actual baseball players from [Major League Baseball](http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp), taken from [this dataset](http://wiki.stat.ucla.edu/socr/index.php/SOCR_Data_MLB_HeightsWeights) (for your convenience, only first 20 values are shown):

 ## Law of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem
 
 One of the reasons why normal distribution is so important is so-called **central limit theorem**. Suppose we have a large sample of independent N values X<sub>1</sub>, ..., X<sub>N</sub>, sampled from any distribution with mean &mu; and variance &sigma;<sup>2</sup>. Then, for sufficiently large N (in other words, when N&rarr;&infin;), the mean &Sigma;<sub>i</sub>X<sub>i</sub> would be normally distributed, with mean &mu; and variance &sigma;<sup>2</sup>/N.
 
-> Another way to interpret central limit theorem is to say that regardless of distribution, when you compute the mean of a sum of any random variable values you end up with normal distribution.

- Mathematically, the main concept that show the relation between two random variables is **covariance**, that is computed like this: Cov(X,Y) = **E**\[(X-**E**(X))(Y-**E**(Y))\]. We compute the deviation of both variables from their mean values, and then product of those deviations. If both variables deviate together, the product would always be a positive value, that would add up to positive covariance. If both variables deviate out-of-sync (i.e. one falls below average when another one rises above average), we will always get negative numbers, that will add up to negative covariance. If the deviations are not dependent, they will add up to roughly zero.

To normalize it, we can divide covariance by standard deviation of both variables, to get **correlation**. The good thing is that correlation is always in the range of [-1,1], where 1 indicates strong positive correlation between values, -1 - strong negative correlation, and 0 - no correlation at all (variables are independent).

 Chances are you have used a spreadsheet in the past to store information. You had a set of rows and columns, where the rows contained the information (or data), and the columns described the information (sometimes called metadata). A relational database is built upon this core principle of columns and rows in tables, allowing you to have information spread across multiple tables. This allows you to work with more complex data, avoid duplication, and have flexibility in the way you explore the data. Let's explore the concepts of a relational database.

 ## Spreadsheets
 
-Many data scientists will not pick spreadsheets as their first tool for various and valid reasons. However, it's a popular way to store and explore data because it requires less work to setup and get started. In this lesson you'll learn the basic components of a spreadsheet and formulas and functions are applied. This lesson provides foundational knowledge of spreadsheets in the rare event that you find yourself working with with them. The examples will be illustrated with Microsoft Excel, but most of the parts and topics will have similar names and steps in comparison to other spreadsheet software.

 The spreadsheet file named "InventoryExample" is a formatted spreadsheet of items within an inventory that contains three worksheets, where the tabs are labeled "Inventory List", "Inventory Pick List" and "Bin Lookup". Row 4 of the Inventory List worksheet is the header, which describes the value of each cell in the header column.
 
-There are instances where a cell is dependent on the values of other cells to generate its value. The Inventory List spreadsheet keeps track of the cost of every item in its inventory, but what if we need to know the value of everything in the inventory? **Formulas** perform actions on cell data and is used to calculate the cost of the inventory in this example. This spreadsheet used a formula in the Inventory Value column to calculate the value of each item by multiplying the quantity under the QTY header and its costs by the cells under the COST header. Double clicking or highlighting a cell will show the formula. You'll notice that formulas start with an equals sign, followed by the calculation or operation.

Excel has **functions**, or predefined formulas to perform calculations on cell values. Functions require arguments, which are the required values used to perform these calculations. When functions require more than one argument, they will need to be listed in a particular order or the function may not calculate the correct value. This example uses the SUM function, and uses the values of on Inventory Value as the argument to add generate the total listed under row 3, column B (also referred to as B3).

+### Document Data Stores with the Azure Cosmos DB 
+
+[Document](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/data-guide/big-data/non-relational-data#document-data-stores) data stores build on the concept of a key-value data store and is made up of a series of fields and objects. This section will explore document databases with the Cosmos DB emulator. 
+
+A Cosmos DB database fits the definition of "Not Only SQL", where Cosmos DB's document database relies on SQL to query the data. The [previous lesson](2-Working-With-Data\06-non-relational) on SQL covers the basics of the language, and we'll be able to apply some of the same queries to a document database here. We'll be using the Cosmos DB Emulator, which allows us to create and explore a document database locally on a computer. Read more about the Emulator [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/local-emulator?tabs=ssl-netstd21).
+
+A document is a collection of fields and object values, where the fields describe what the object value represents. Below is an example of a document.
+
+```json
+{
+    "firstname": "Eva",
+    "age": 44,
+    "id": "8c74a315-aebf-4a16-bb38-2430a9896ce5",
+    "_rid": "bHwDAPQz8s0BAAAAAAAAAA==",
+    "_self": "dbs/bHwDAA==/colls/bHwDAPQz8s0=/docs/bHwDAPQz8s0BAAAAAAAAAA==/",
+    "_etag": "\"00000000-0000-0000-9f95-010a691e01d7\"",
+    "_attachments": "attachments/",
+    "_ts": 1630544034
+}
+```
+
+The fields of interest in this document are: `firstname`, `id`, and `age`. The rest of the fields with the underscores were generated by Cosmos DB.
+
+#### Exploring Data with the Cosmos DB Emulator
+
+You can download and install the emulator [for Windows here](https://aka.ms/cosmosdb-emulator). Refer to this [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/local-emulator?tabs=ssl-netstd21#run-on-linux-macos) for options on how to run the Emulator for macOS and Linux.
+
+The Emulator launches a browser window, where the Explorer view allows you to explore documents.

-#### The Cosmos DB Emulator
+If you're following along, click on "Start with Sample" to generate a sample database called SampleDB. If you expand Sample DB by clicking on the arrow you'll find a container called `Persons`, a container holds a collection of items, which are the documents within the container. You can explore the four individual documents under `Items`. 
 
+![Exploring sample data in the Cosmos DB Emulator](images/cosmosdb-emulator-persons.png)
 
+#### Querying Document Data with the Cosmos DB Emulator
 
+We can also query the sample data by clicking on the new SQL Query button (second button from the left).
 
-## Pre-Lecture Quiz
+`SELECT * FROM c` returns all the documents in the container. Let's add a where clause and find everyone younger than 40.
 
-[Pre-lecture quiz]()
+`SELECT * FROM c where c.age < 40`
 
+ ![Running a SELECT query on sample data in the Cosmos DB Emulator to find documents that have an age field value that is less than 40](images/cosmosdb-emulator-persons-query.png)
 
+The query returns two documents, notice the age value for each document is less than 40.
 
+#### JSON and Documents
+
+If you're familiar with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) you'll notice that documents look similar to JSON. There is a `PersonsData.json` file in this directory with more data that you may upload to the Persons container in the Emulator via the `Upload Item` button.
+
+In most instances, APIs that return JSON data can be directly transferred and stored in document databases. Below is another document, it represents tweets from the Microsoft Twitter account that was retrieved using the Twitter API, then inserted into Cosmos DB.
+
+```json

+While databases offer very efficient ways to store data and query them using query languages, the most flexible way of data processing is writing your own program to manipulate data. In many cases, doing a database query would be a more effective way. However in some cases when more complex data processing is needed, it cannot be done easily using SQL. 
 Data processing can be programmed in any programming language, but there are certain languages that are higher level with respect to working with data. Data scientists typically prefer one of the following languages:
 
 * **[Python](https://www.python.org/)**, a general-purpose programming language, which is often considered one of the best options for beginners due to its simplicity. Python has a lot of additional libraries that can help you solve many practical problems, such as extracting your data from ZIP archive, or converting picture to grayscale. In addition to data science, Python is also often used for web development. 
 * **[R](https://www.r-project.org/)** is a traditional toolbox developed with statistical data processing in mind. It also contains large repository of libraries (CRAN), making it a good choice for data processing. However, R is not a general-purpose programming language, and is rarely used outside of data science domain.
 * **[Julia](https://julialang.org/)** is another language developed specifically for data science. It is intended to give better performance than Python, making it a great tool for scientific experimentation.
 
-In this lesson, we will focus on using Python for simple data processing. We will assume basic familiarity with the language. If you want deeper tour of Python, you can refer to one of the following resources:

 | 6 | 7 | Pandas |
 | 7 | 8 | very |
 | 8 | 9 | much |
-## 🚀 Challenge
+
+**Note** that we can also get this table layout by transposing the previous table, eg. by writing 
+```python
+df = pd.DataFrame([a,b]).T..rename(columns={ 0 : 'A', 1 : 'B' })
+```
+Here `.T` means the operation of transposing the DataFrame, i.e. changing rows and columns, and `rename` operation allows us to rename columns to match the previous example.
+
+Here are a few most important operations we can perform on DataFrames:
+
+**Column selection**. We can select individual columns by writing `df['A']` - this operation returns a Series. We can also select a subset of columns into another DataFrame by writing `df[['B','A']]` - this return another DataFrame.
+
+**Filtering** only certain rows by criteria. For example, to leave only rows with column `A` greater than 5, we can write `df[df['A']>5]`.
+
+> **Note**: The way filtering works is the following. The expression `df['A']<5` returns a boolean series, which indicates whether expression is `True` or `False` for each element of the original series `df['A']`. When boolean series is used as an index, it returns subset of rows in the DataFrame. Thus it is not possible to use arbitrary Python boolean expression, for example, writing `df[df['A']>5 and df['A']<7]` would be wrong. Instead, you should use special `&` operation on boolean series, writing `df[(df['A']>5) & (df['A']<7)]` (*brackets are important here*).
+
+**Creating new computable columns**. We can easily create new computable columns for our DataFrame by using intuitive expression like this:
+```python
+df['DivA'] = df['A']-df['A'].mean() 
+``` 
+This example calculates divergence of A from its mean value. What actually happens here is we are computing a series, and then assigning this series to the left-hand-side, creating another column. Thus, we cannot use any operations that are not compatible with series, for example, the code below is wrong:
+```python
+# Wrong code -> df['ADescr'] = "Low" if df['A'] < 5 else "Hi"
+df['LenB'] = len(df['B']) # <- Wrong result
+``` 
+The latter example, while being syntactically correct, gives us wrong result, because it assigns the length of series `B` to all values in the column, and not the length of individual elements as we intended.
+
+If we need to compute complex expressions like this, we can use `apply` function. The last example can be written as follows:
+```python
+df['LenB'] = df['B'].apply(lambda x : len(x))
+# or 
+df['LenB'] = df['B'].apply(len)
+```
+
+After operations above, we will end up with the following DataFrame:
+
+|  | A | B | DivA | LenB |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 0 | 1 | I | -4.0 | 1 |
+| 1 | 2 | like | -3.0 | 4 |
+| 2 | 3 | to | -2.0 | 2 |
+| 3 | 4 | use | -1.0 | 3 |
+| 4 | 5 | Python | 0.0 | 6 |
+| 5 | 6 | and | 1.0 | 3 |
+| 6 | 7 | Pandas | 2.0 | 6 |
+| 7 | 8 | very | 3.0 | 4 |
+| 8 | 9 | much | 4.0 | 4 |
+
+**Selecting rows based on numbers** can be done using `iloc` construct. For example, to select first 5 rows from the DataFrame:
+```python
+df.iloc[:5]
+```
+
+**Grouping** is often used to get a result similar to *pivot tables* in Excel. Suppose that we want to compute mean value of column `A` for each given number of `LenB`. Then we can group our DataFrame by `LenB`, and call `mean`:
+```python
+df.groupby(by='LenB').mean()
+```
+If we need to compute mean and the number of elements in the group, then we can use more complex `aggregate` function:
+```python
+df.groupby(by='LenB') \
+ .aggregate({ 'DivA' : len, 'A' : lambda x: x.mean() }) \
+ .rename(columns={ 'DivA' : 'Count', 'A' : 'Mean'})
+```
+This gives us the following table:
+
+| LenB | Count | Mean |
+|------|-------|------|
+| 1 | 1 | 1.000000 |
+| 2 | 1 | 3.000000 |
+| 3 | 2 | 5.000000 |
+| 4 | 3 | 6.333333 |
+| 6 | 2 | 6.000000 |
+
+### Getting Data
+
+We have seen how easy it is to construct Series and DataFrames from Python objects. However, data usually comes in the form of a text file, or an Excel table. Luckily, Pandas offers us a simple way to load data from disk. For example, reading CSV file is as simple as this:
+```python
+df = pd.read_csv('file.csv')
+```
+We will see more examples of loading data, including fetching it from external web sites, in the "Challenge" section
+
+
+### Printing and Plotting
+
+A Data Scientist often has to explore the data, thus it is important to be able to visualize it. When DataFrame is big, many times we want just to make sure we are doing everything correctly by printing out the first few rows. This can be done by calling `df.head()`. If you are running it from Jupyter Notebook, it will print out the DataFrame in a nice tabular form.
+
+We have also seen the usage of `plot` function to visualize some columns. While `plot` is very useful for many tasks, and supports many different graph types via `kind=` parameter, you can always use raw `matplotlib` library to plot something more complex. We will cover data visualization in detail in separate course lessons.
+
+This overview covers most important concepts of Pandas, however, the library is very rich, and there is no limit to what you can do with it! Let's now apply this knowledge for solving specific problem.
+
+## 🚀 Challenge 1: Analyzing COVID Spread
 
 First problem we will focus on is modelling of epidemic spread of COVID-19. In order to do that, we will use the data on the number of infected individuals in different countries, provided by the [Center for Systems Science and Engineering](https://systems.jhu.edu/) (CSSE) at [Johns Hopkins University](https://jhu.edu/). Dataset is available in [this GitHub Repository](https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19).
 
-Since we want to demonstrate how to deal with data, we invite you to open [`notebook-covidspread.ipynb`](notebook-covidspread.ipynb) and read it from top to bottom. You can also execute cells, and do some challenges that we have leaf for you along the way.

+
+## Working with Unstructured Data
+
+While data very often comes in tabular form, in some cases we need to deal with less structured data, for example, text or images. In this case, to apply data processing techniques we have seen above, we need to somehow **extract** structured data. Here are a few examples:
+
+* Extracting keywords from text, and seeing how often those keywords appear
+* Using neural networks to extract information about objects on the picture
+* Getting information on emotions of people on video camera feed
+
+## 🚀 Challenge 2: Analyzing COVID Papers
+
+In this challenge, we will continue with the topic of COVID pandemic, and focus on processing scientific papers on the subject. There is [CORD-19 Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge) with more than 7000 (at the time of writing) papers on COVID, available with metadata and abstracts (and for about half of them there is also full text provided).
 
+A full example of analyzing this dataset using [Text Analytics for Health](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cognitive-services/text-analytics/how-tos/text-analytics-for-health/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso) cognitive service is described [in this blog post](https://soshnikov.com/science/analyzing-medical-papers-with-azure-and-text-analytics-for-health/). We will discuss simplified version of this analysis.
 
+> **NOTE**: We do not provide a copy of the dataset as part of this repository. You may first need to download the [`metadata.csv`](https://www.kaggle.com/allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge?select=metadata.csv) file from [this dataset on Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge). Registration with Kaggle may be required. You may also download the dataset without registration [from here](https://ai2-semanticscholar-cord-19.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/historical_releases.html), but it will include all full texts in addition to metadata file.

+## Processing Image Data
+
+Recently, very powerful AI models have been developed that allow us to understand images. There are many tasks that can be solved using pre-trained neural networks, or cloud services. Some examples include:
+
+* **Image Classification**, which can help you categorize the image into one of the pre-defined classes. You can easily train your own image classifiers using services such as [Custom Vision](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/custom-vision-service/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso)
+* **Object Detection** to detect different objects in the image. Services such as [computer vision](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/computer-vision/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso) can detect a number of common objects, and you can train [Custom Vision](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/custom-vision-service/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso) model to detect some specific objects of interest.
+* **Face Detection**, including Age, Gender and Emotion detection. This can be done via [Face API](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/face/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso).
+
+All those cloud services can be called using [Python SDKs](https://docs.microsoft.com/samples/azure-samples/cognitive-services-python-sdk-samples/cognitive-services-python-sdk-samples/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso), and thus can be easily incorporated into your data exploration workflow. 
+
+Here are some examples of exploring data from Image data sources:
+* In the blog post [How to Learn Data Science without Coding](https://soshnikov.com/azure/how-to-learn-data-science-without-coding/) we explore Instagram photos, trying to understand what makes people give more likes to a photo. We first extract as much information from pictures as possible using [computer vision](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/computer-vision/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso), and then use [Azure Machine Learning AutoML](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/concept-automated-ml/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso) to build interpretable model.
+* In [Facial Studies Workshop](https://github.com/CloudAdvocacy/FaceStudies) we use [Face API](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/face/?WT.mc_id=acad-31812-dmitryso) to extract emotions on people on photographs from events, in order to try to understand what makes people happy. 
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Whether you already have structured or unstructured data, using Python you can perform all steps related to data processing and understanding. It is probably the most flexible way of data processing, and that is the reason the majority of data scientists use Python as their primary tool. Learning Python in depth is probably a good idea if you are serious about your data science journey!

 Continuing with the nature focus of our research, let's discover interesting visualizations to show the relationships between various types of honey, according to a dataset derived from the [United States Department of Agriculture](https://www.nass.usda.gov/About_NASS/index.php). 
 
 This dataset of about 600 items displays honey production in many U.S. states. So, for example, you can look at the number of colonies, yield per colony, total production, stocks, price per pound, and value of the honey produced in a given state from 1998-2012, with one row per year for each state. 
 
 It will be interesting to visualize the relationship between a given state's production per year and, for example, the price of honey in that state. Alternately, you could visualize the relationship between states' honey yield per colony. This year span covers the devastating 'CCD' or 'Colony Collapse Disorder' first seen in 2006 (http://npic.orst.edu/envir/ccd.html), so it is a poignant dataset to study. 🐝

Particularly interesting is the use of Seaborn's `relplot` function that allows scatter plots and line plots to quickly visualize '[statistical relationships](https://seaborn.pydata.org/tutorial/relational.html?highlight=relationships)', which allow the data scientist to better understand how variables relate to each other.

 One of the basic skills of a data scientist is the ability to create a meaningful data visualization that helps answer questions you might have. Prior to visualizing your data, you need to ensure that it has been cleaned and prepared, as you did in prior lessons. After that, you can start deciding how best to present the data.

 ## Avoid deception
 
 Even if a data scientist is careful to choose the right chart for the right data, there are plenty of ways that data can be displayed in a way to prove a point, often at the cost of undermining the data itself. There are many examples of deceptive charts and infographics!

 ## Styling your charts for readability
 
 Charts are not meaningful if they are not readable! Take a moment to consider styling the width and height of your chart to scale well with your data. If one variable (such as all 50 states) need to be displayed, show them vertically on the Y axis if possible so as to avoid a horizontally-scrolling chart.
 
 Label your axes, provide a legend if necessary, and offer tooltips for better comprehension of data.
 
-If your data is textual and verbose on the X-axis, you can angle the text for better readability. [Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/toolkits/mplot3d.html) offers 3d plotting, if you data supports it. Sophisticated data visualizations can be produced using `mpl_toolkits.mplot3d`.

Both meet their demise in the end but not without inflicting a great deal of social damage.

 When training your models, you may require more training data. If you’re content with your model, more data will arrive for a model to serve its purpose. In any case the cost of storing and accessing data will increase as you accumulate more of it. Separating rarely used data, known as cold data from frequently accessed hot data can be a cheaper data storage option through hardware or software services. If cold data needs to be accessed, it may take a little longer to retrieve in comparison to hot data.

+# Exploring and Assessing a Dataset
+
+A client has approached your team for help in investigating a taxi customer's seasonal spending habits in New York City. 
+
+They want to know: **Do yellow taxi passengers in New York City tip drivers more in the winter or summer?**
+
+Your team is in the [Capturing](Readme.md#Capturing) stage of the Data Science Lifecycle and you are in charge of exploring the dataset. You have been provided a notebook and data from Azure Open Datasets to explore and assess if the data can answer the client's question. You have decided to select a small sample of 1 summer month and 1 winter month in the year 2019.
+
+## Instructions
+
+In this directory is a [notebook](notebook.ipynb) that uses Python to load yellow taxi trip data from the [NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/open-datasets/dataset-taxi-yellow?tabs=azureml-opendatasets) for the months of January and July 2019. These datasets have been joined together in a Pandas dataframe.
+
+Your task is to identify the columns that are the most likely required to answer this question, then reorganize the joined dataset so that these columns are displayed first.
+
+Finally, write 3 questions that you would ask the client for more clarification and better understanding of the problem.

+# Introduction
 
-## Post-Lecture Quiz
+### What is Communication?
+Let’s start this lesson by defining what is means to communicate. **To communicate is to convey or exchange information.** Information can be ideas, thoughts, feelings, messages, covert signals, data – anything that a **_sender_** (someone sending information) wants a **_receiver_** (someone receiving information) to understand. In this lesson, we will refer to senders as  communicators, and receivers as the audience. 
 
-[Post-lecture quiz]()
+### Data Communication & Storytelling
+We understand that when communicating, the aim is to convey or exchange information. But when communicating data, your aim shouldn't be to simply pass along numbers to your audience. Your aim should be to communicate a story that is informed by your data - effective data communication and storytelling go hand-in-hand. Your audience is more likely to remember a story you tell, than a number you give. Later in this lesson, we will go over a few ways that you can use storytelling to communicate your data more effectively. 
 
-## Review & Self Study
+### Types of Communication
+Throughout this lesson two different types of communication will be discussed, One-Way Communication and Two-Way Communication.
 
+**One way communication** happens when a sender sends information to a receiver, without any feedback or response. We see examples of one-way communication every day – in bulk/mass emails, when the news delivers the most recent stories, or even when a television commercial comes on and informs you about why their product is great. In each of these instances, the sender is not seeking an exchange of information. They are only seeking to convey or deliver information.
 
-## Assignment
+**Two-way communication** happens when all involved parties act as both senders and receivers. A sender will begin by communicating to a receiver, and the receiver will provide feedback or a response. Two-way communication is what we traditionally think of when we talk about communication. We usually think of people engaged in a conversation - either in person, or over a phone call, social media, or text message.
 
-[Assignment Title](assignment.md)
+When communicating data, there will be cases where you will be using one-way communication (think about presenting at a conference, or to a large group where questions won’t be asked directly after) and there will be cases where you will use two-way communication (think about using data to persuade a few stakeholders for buy-in, or to convince a teammate that time and effort should be spent building something new).
+
+# Effective Communication
+### Your Responsibilities as a communicator
+When communicating, it is your job to make sure that your receiver(s) are taking away the information that you want them to take away. When you’re communicating data, you don’t just want your receivers to takeaway numbers, you want your receivers to takeaway a story that’s informed by your data. A good data communicator is a good storyteller.
+
+How do you tell a story with data? There are infinite ways – but below are 6 that we will talk about in this lesson.
+1.	Understand Your Audience, Your Medium, & Your Communication Method
+2.	Begin with the End in Mind
+3.	Approach it Like an Actual Story
+4.	Use Meaningful Words & Phrases
+5.	Use Emotion
+
+Each of these strategies is explained in greater detail below. 
+
+### 1. Understand Your Audience, Your Channel & Your Communication Method
+The way you communicate with family members is likely different than the way you communicate with your friends. You probably use different words and phrases that the people you’re speaking to are more likely to understand. You should take the same approach when communicating data. Think about who you’re communicating to. Think about their goals and the context that they have around the situation that you’re explaining to them.
+
+You can likely group the majority of your audience them within a category. In a _Harvard Business Review_ article, “[How to Tell a Story with Data](http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/04/how-to-tell-a-story-with-data/),” Dell Executive Strategist Jim Stikeleather identifies five categories of audiences.
+
+ - **Novice**: first exposure to the subject, but doesn’t want
+   oversimplification
+ - **Generalist**: aware of the topic, but looking for an overview
+   understanding and major themes
+ - **Managerial**: in-depth, actionable understanding of intricacies and
+   interrelationships with access to detail
+ - **Expert**: more exploration and discovery and less storytelling with
+   great detail
+ - **Executive**: only has time to glean the significance and conclusions of
+   weighted probabilities
+
+These categories can inform the way you present data to your audience. 
+
+In addition to thinking about your audience's category, you should also consider the channel you're using to communicate with your audience. Your approach should be slightly different if you're writing a memo or email vs having a meeting or presenting at a conference. 
+
+On top of understanding your audience, knowing how you will be communicating with them (using one-way communication or two-way) is also critical.
+
+If you are communicating with a majority Novice audience and you’re using one-way communication, you must first educate the audience and give them proper context. Then you must present your data to them and tell them what your data means and why your data matters. In this instance, you may want to be laser focused on driving clarity, because your audience will not be able to ask you any direct questions.
+
+If you are communicating with a majority Managerial audience and you’re using two-way communication, you likely won’t need to educate your audience or provide them with much context. You may be able to jump straight into discussing the data that you’ve collected and why it matters. In this scenario though, you should be focused on timing and controlling your presentation. When using two-way communication (especially with a Managerial audience who is seeking an “actionable understanding of intricacies and interrelationships with access to detail”) questions may pop up during your interaction that may take the discussion in a direction that doesn’t relate to the story that you’re trying to tell. When this happens, you can take action and move the discussion back on track with your story.
+
+
+### 2. Begin With The End In Mind
+Beginning with the end in mind means understanding your intended takeaways for your audience before you start communicating with them. Being thoughtful about what you want your audience to takeaway ahead of time can help you craft a story that your audience can follow. Beginning with the end in mind is appropriate for both one-way communication and two-way communication.
+
+How do you begin with the end in mind? Before communicating your data, write down your key takeaways. Then, every step of the way as you're preparing the story that you want to tell with your data, ask yourself, "How does this integrate into the story I'm telling?"
+
+Be Aware – While starting with the end in mind is ideal, you don’t want to communicate only the data that supports your intended takeaways. Doing this is called Cherry-Picking, which happens when a communicator only communicates data that supports the point they are tying to make and ignores all other data.
+
+If all the data that you collected clearly supports your intended takeaways, great. But if there is data that you collected that doesn’t support your takeaways, or even supports an argument against your key takeaways, you should communicate that data as well. If this happens, be upfront with your audience and let them know why you're choosing to stick with your story even though all the data doesn't necessarily support it. 
+
+
+### 3. Approach it Like an Actual Story
+A traditional story happens in 5 Phases. You may have heard these phases expressed as Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Denouncement. Or the easier to remember Context, Conflict, Climax, Closure, Conclusion. When communicating your data and your story, you can take a similar approach. 
+
+You can begin with context, set the stage and make sure your audience is all on the same page. Then introduce the conflict. Why did you need to collect this data? What problems were you seeking to solve? After that, the climax. What is the data? What does the data mean? What solutions does the data tell us we need? Then you get to the closure, where you can reiterate the problem, and the proposed solution(s). Lastly, we come to the conclusion, where you can summarize your key takeaways and the next steps you recommend the team takes.
+
+### 4. Use Meaningful Words & Phrases
+If you and I were working together on a product, and I said to you "Our users take a long time to onboard onto our platform," how long would you estimate that "long time" to be? An hour? A week? It's hard to know. What if I said that to an entire audience? Everyone in the audience may end up with a different idea of how long users take to onboard onto our platform. 
+
+Instead, what if I said "Out users take, on average, 3 minutes to sign up and onboard onto our platform." 
+
+That messaging is more clear. When communicating data, it can be easy to think that everyone in your audience is thinking just like you. But that is not always the case. Driving clarity around your data and what it means is one of your responsibilities as a communicator.  If the data or your story is not clear, your audience will have a hard time following, and it is less likely that they will understand your key takeaways. 
+
+You can communicate data more clearly when you use meaningful words and phrases, instead of vague ones. Below are a few examples. 
+
+ - We had an *impressive* year! 
+	 - One person could think a impressive means a 2% - 3% increase in revenue, and one person could think it means a 50% - 60% increase. 
+ - Our users' success rates increased *dramatically*.
+	 - How large of an increase is a dramatic increase?
+ - This undertaking will require *significant* effort.
+	 - How much effort is significant?
+
+Using vague words could be useful as an introduction to more data that's coming, or as a summary of the story that you've just told. But consider ensuring that every part of your presentation is clear for your audience. 
+ 
+
+### 5. Use Emotion
+Emotion is key in storytelling. It's even more important when you're telling a story with data. When you're communicating data, everything is focused on the takeaways you want your audience to have. When you evoke an emotion for an audience it helps them empathize, and makes them more likely to take action. Emotion also increases the likelihood that an audience will remember your message. 
+
+You may have encountered this before with TV commercials. Some commercials are very somber, and use a sad emotion to connect with their audience and make the data that they're presenting really stand out. Or, some commercials are very upbeat and happy may make you associate their data with a happy feeling. 
+
+How do you use emotion when communicating data? Below are a couple of ways. 
+
+ - Use Testimonials and Personal Stories 
+	- When collecting data, try to collect both quantitative and qualitative data, and integrate both types of data when you're communicating. If your data is primarily quantitative, seek stories from individuals to learn more about their experience with whatever your data is telling you.
+ - Use Imagery
+	 - Images help an audience see themselves in a situation. When you use
+	   images, you can push an audience toward the emotion that you feel
+	   they should have about your data.
+ - Use Color
+	 - Different colors evoke different emotions. Popular colors and the emotions they evoke are below. Be aware, that colors could have different meanings in different cultures. 
+		 - Blue usually evokes emotions of peace and trust
+		 - Green is usually related to the nature and the environment
+		 - Red is usually passion and excitement
+		 - Yellow is usually optimism and happiness
+
+# Communication Case Study
+Emerson is a Product Manager for a mobile app. Emerson has noticed that customers submit 42% more complaints and bug reports on the weekends. Emerson also noticed that customers who submit a complaint that goes unanswered after 48 hours are more 32% more likely to give the app a rating of 1 or 2 in the app store.
+
+After doing research, Emerson has a couple of solutions that will address the issue. Emerson sets up a 30-minute meeting with the 3 company leads to communicate the data and the proposed solutions.
+
+During this meeting, Emerson’s goal is to have the company leads understand that the 2 solutions below can improve the app’s rating, which will likely translate into higher revenue.
+
+**Solution 1.** Hire customer service reps to work on weekends
+
+**Solution 2.** Purchase a new customer service ticketing system where customer service reps can easily identify which complaints have been in the queue the longest – so they can tell which to address most immediately.
+
+In the meeting, Emerson spends 5 minutes explaining why having a low rating on the app store is bad, 10 minutes explaining the research process and how the trends were identified, 10 minutes going through some of the recent customer complaints, and the last 5 minutes glossing over the 2 potential solutions.
+
+Was this an effective way for Emerson to communicate during this meeting?
+
+During the meeting, one company lead fixated on the 10 minutes of customer complaints that Emerson went through. After the meeting, these complaints were the only thing that this team lead remembered. Another company lead primarily focused on Emerson describing the research process. The third company lead did remember the solutions proposed by Emerson but wasn’t sure how those solutions could be implemented. 
+
+In the situation above, you can see that there was a significant gap between what Emerson wanted the team leads to take away, and what they ended up taking away from the meeting. Below is another approach that Emerson could consider.
+
+How could Emerson improve this approach? 
+Context, Conflict, Climax, Closure, Conclusion
+**Context** - Emerson could spend the first 5 minutes introducing the entire situation and making sure that the team leads understand how the problems affect metrics that are critical to the company, like revenue. 
+
+It could be laid out this way: "Currently, our app's rating in the app store is a 2.5. Ratings in the app store are critical to App Store Optimization, which impacts how many users see our app in search, and how our app is viewed to perspective users. And ofcourse, the number of users we have is tied directly to revenue."
+
+**Conflict** Emerson could then move to talk for the next 5 minutes or so on the conflict.
+
+It could go like this: “Users submit 42% more complaints and bug reports on the weekends. Customers who submit a complaint that goes unanswered after 48 hours are more 32% less likely to give our app a rating over a 2 in the app store. Improving our app's rating in the app store to a 4 would improve our visibility by 20-30%, which I project would increase revenue by 10%." Of course, Emerson should be prepared to justify these numbers. 
+
+**Climax** After laying the groundwork, Emerson could then move to the Climax for 5 or so minutes. 
+
+Emerson could introduce the proposed solutions, lay out how those solutions will address the issues outlined, how those solutions could be implemented into existing workflows, how much the solutions cost, what the ROI of the solutions would be, and maybe even show some screenshots or wireframes of how the solutions would look if implemented. Emerson could also share testimonials from users who took over 48 hours to have their complaint addressed, and even a testimonial from a current customer service representative within the company who has comments on the current ticketing system. 
+
+**Closure** Now Emerson can spend 5 minutes restating the problems faced by the company, revisit the proposed solutions, and review why those solutions are the right ones. 
+
+**Conclusion** Because this is a meeting with a few stakeholders where two-way communication will be used, Emerson could then plan to leave 10 minutes for questions, to make sure that anything that was confusing to the team leads could be clarified before the meeting is over. 
+
+If Emerson took approach #2, it is much more likely that the team leads will take away from the meeting exactly what Emerson intended for them to take away – that the way complaints and bugs are handled could be improved, and there are 2 solutions that could be put in place to make that improvement happen. This approach would be a much more effective approach to communicating the data, and the story, that Emerson wants to communicate.  
+
+
+# Conclusion
+### Summary of main points
+ - To communicate is to convey or exchange information.
+ - When communicating data, your aim shouldn't be to simply pass along numbers to your audience. Your aim should be to communicate a story that is informed by your data. 
+ - There are 2 types of communication, One-Way Communication (information is communicated with no intention of a response) and Two-Way Communication (information is communicated back and forth.)
+ - There are many strategies you can use to telling a story with your data, 5 strategies we went over are:
+	 - Understand Your Audience, Your Medium, & Your Communication Method
+	 - Begin with the End in Mind
+	 - Approach it Like an Actual Story
+	 - Use Meaningful Words & Phrases
+	 - Use Emotion

-What better way to learn than actually doing a project! In this lesson, we are going to explore two different ways of building a data science project for the prediction of heart failure attacks in Azure ML Studio, through Low code/No code and through the Azure ML SDK as shown in the following schema.
+There is no doubt that making and building projects is the best to put your skills and knowledge to test. In this lesson, we are going to explore two different ways of building a data science project for the prediction of heart failure attacks in Azure ML Studio, through Low code/No code and through the Azure ML SDK as shown in the following schema:
 
 ![project-schema](img/project-schema.PNG)
 
-Both ways has its pro and cons. The Low code/No code way is easier to start with because it is mostly interacting with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) without knowledge of code required. This method is great at the beginning of a project to quickly test if a project is viable and to create POC (Proof Of Concept). However, once a project grows and things need to be production ready, it is not maintainable to create resources by hand through the GUI. We need to programmatically automate everything, from the creation of resources, to the deployment of a model. This is where knowing how to use the Azure ML SDK is critical.

 ## 🚀 Challenge
 
+ There are many other things you can do through the SDK, unfortunately, we can not view them all in this lesson. But good news, learning how to skim through the SDK documentation can take you a long way on your own. Have a look at the Azure ML SDK documentation and find the `Pipeline` class that allows you to create pipelines. A Pipeline is a collection of steps which can be executed as a workflow.
+
+**HINT:** Go to the [SDK documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/overview/azure/ml/?view=azure-ml-py?WT.mc_id=academic-40229-cxa&ocid=AID3041109) and type keywords in the search bar like "Pipeline". You should have the `azureml.pipeline.core.Pipeline` class in the search results.
