#module 3

Leave out missing data from the evaluation:

I've created new culomn 'RankOfIncome' for making category for the range of 'incomeperperson':

Ranks:

A: incomeperperson > 10000

B: incomeperperson in 5000 - 10000

C: incomeperperson < 5000

Replace empty cells with category (nan -> 0):

Statistical analysis of variables A, B, C:

Recoding C->A, A->C into a new culomn 'RankOfIncomeReversed':

Statistical analysis of the reversed variables A, C:

I did the same evaluation for 'urbanrate' where I categorized as follows:

urbanrate > 66% : 'A'

urbanrate in 33-66% : 'B'

urbanrate < 33% : 'C'

As 3rd variable I did the same evaluation for 'lifeexpectancy' where I categorized as follows:

lifeexpectancy> 75 : 'A'

lifeexpectancy in 60-75 : 'B'

lifeexpectancy < 60 : 'C'

Summary:

I made evaluation on the income and ranked it to 3 categories. I’ve  categori A a for more than 10,000, B for between 5 and 10,000 and C for less than 5000. I've created similar statistics on urbanrate and lifeexpectancy as described above.

Once I created these variables I could make evaluation on them so I defined the number of the elements which falls into one category and also created the percentage of them.

Here is my opening paragraph and a brief plan for my essay - let me know what you think!!

Graduate writing takes place in a liminal space. It’s liminality is derived from the synchronous act of existing in the past, present, and future of the writer. While this may be true of all writing, graduate writing seeks an acute awareness of this temporal coexistence through discussions of pedagogy and skills that look at metacognition. This paper delves into the three levels of temporal existence in graduate writing and what they mean as a synchronous whole to create a definition of graduate writing that centers the experiential nature of graduate writing. As such, this graduate writing can be seen as an expanding horizon of disciplinary knowledge that recognizes and applies diverse methods and frameworks on multiple levels of audience familiarity with a distinct awareness of the processes and ideologies that go into this work.

To more fully understand this definition of graduate writing, here is my basis for a definition of writing itself. Writing is an iterative process of organizing, construction, and assessing knowledge utilizing representational symbols with distinct forms that are built upon cultural and social traditions.

Brief Plan:

Past

               Reflection/Metacognition, Portfolio

Present

               New and exciting work, texts, media, forms, experiences (conferences, events,              speakers)

Future

               Professional development

               Conscious multiplicity of production

Temporal Integration/Conclusion

               Making peace with the knowledge that there is so much more to know

               Building and maintaining webs of knowledge and connection

These chapters and particularly Benson's bring up the role of positive/negative reward pathways in playing that I think is an interesting connection back to Stuart's Ethics as well as creating new links to biology (these terms are frequently used in neurobehavioral studies). With these player-centric theories that focus on play as biological--are we giving something up for this definition? I also notice the focus on the individual was key in the writing outcomes as well though all of these theories in one way or another acknowledge the social aspects of learning and play. I feel like in some ways we are gaining a more refined definition of play in these recent chapters but I'm trying to make it make sense with some of Huizinga's claims and even Stenros' own "spirit of play." I guess both can exist simultaneously (as is common in play characteristics) I just think it is interesting that there seems to be a return to the aspects of play (and writing) that are physical/biological. Is this a tension that is just central to play? We've encountered about 60+ years of theories and all of them seem to share some of this tension.

PINOY PRIDE!! WOOO WOOO *AGILA NOISES*. Just kidding. Only did that in instinct due to this module’s topic. Our self can also be defined by our culture and the traditions of the society that we are born into. No man is an island and that statement is mainly applied in this topic as we explored how society can be a big factor in your journey to finding the self. I agree with that too, as who am I if not for the Batchoy that runs in my veins.

All this culture and identity talk made me suddenly think of this meme. This meme is funny because being Filipino feels like living life in hard mode sometimes. I mean, the recent elections were already tough as it is, there comes natural calamities soon after. I know that “resiliency” has been an overused description to describe us to the point of exploitation, but as I continue to go through this university, it’s a trait I’m willing to identify myself with. 

Well up until I graduate I guess, but that’s a thought for another time aha.

Also, sir made us talk about our cultural symbols and of course i had to sneak in my boy, Batchoy in that activity. It was love at first bite. God, I love being an Ilonggo for this 1 single reason. 

Image 1 has complementary colors, yellow-green and red-violet, which is seen in the tennis balls and the word “five” in the design. The complementary colors work together to equally draw your eye to both. It find my self balancing my vision on both objects, and not primarily looking at one.

Image 2 shows analogous colors, which in this design are on the spectrum from light orange to dakr purple on the color wheel. The analogous colors fade into one another which works to help the viewer read the design from left to right, and have a smooth and calming transition while scanning the design. They are being used tohelp the viewer read the sign.

Image 3 shows an example which has cool colors, including light and dark purples as well as navy. I think the cool colors are trying to incicate a calmness or relaxinf vibe to the viewer/buyer. This makes sense for the brand being “calm” as many people associate these colors with calmness or sleep.

Image 4 is an example with predominantly warm colors, which are different shades of brown and orange. This is trying to communicate warmness and comfort to the viewer/buyer, and I think it has this effect due to fireplace which makes one feel nostalgic an happy.

Image 5 is an example which uses contrast in color to communicate an importance is the page. The colors used are red and green, and on the page the green is clearly associated with “good” and red “bad”. This contrast between colors and words is well known by society, so the design is clearly trying to enforoce this meaning through the colors. The colors separate the page, and show a lear line between sides.

Image 6 is an exmapke of the gestalt principle, closure. This is used the the number 2 in the lines the surround it.

Image 7 is a design example with an active figure-ground relationship, as you can see that the question mark is used as an outline for the face. Each part works together to make two different images.
