Journalism course breeding a skilled pre-med

Though I am not going into journalism, when I took this course I didn’t know that I would come out of it with so much knowledge in how to use different tools. These tools are not reserved for journalists only- I will not let them be.

I am going to take advantage of writing data stories. When I choose to do a write up on new data that comes out about the blood sugar of Americans and its corresponding medication Actos, I will make sure to stick to the facts just like I learned and let the results do the talking. I can even aggregate other sources within my data story to keep my fellow pre-meds up to date across the board on other relevant medical information.

My first data story about Michigan school comparisons.

Another tool I’m thankful for is Timeline JS. I remember how hard I thought constructing my first timeline was, but now I can easily see myself in the future using it as a presentation template. Timeline JS has gotten to be easy for me and I can stir up a quick timeline in minutes.

Coding is something I’ve always wanted to learn, and this course also fulfilled that wish. Now thanks to Code Academy I can do any basic coding and this can also help in presentations and who knows what other doors it might open up in the medical field. Technology and medicine always go great together.

Overall, there is important and useful information to learn everywhere we look. Now it is just up to us as to what we do with that information!

Timeline JS Box Office Summary

I created a Timeline JS about which movies topped the box office in the year so far. You will see in the timeline that Fifty Shades Freed came in fifth place, A Quiet Place in fourth, Peter Rabbit in third, Ready Player One in second, and Black Panther in first place.

It is no surprise to be that Blank Panther is doing so good on the charts, people are in love with all the movie has to offer through experience. Whether it’s the soundtrack, picture, or actors it welcomes every viewer to a good time. It is also revolutionary because this is the first black superhero with their own movie. The Black Panther made history.

Displaying it within my timeline was neat because with a timeline everything is organized and suspenseful in a way. With my box office summary, we are anticipating to see who took the number one spot.
