b) Explain some ways that an analyst can mitigate this bias.
c) How will this change the way you approach your next analysis project?
3) Course Reflection
a) What did you enjoy learning about the most in this descriptive analytics course?
b) How do you think the skills from these courses will help you in your current or future career?
c) What might you want to learn next? Why?
d) What credential might you want to earn next? Why?
