Name two of these core competencies are you most skilled with (or which is most familiar to you)? Where and how did you gain the skills/become familiar?
- I feel that my most skilled competencies are Discovery and Acquisition of Data and Ethics, including the citation of data. Data acquisition comes from experience,many hours of searching through databases and websites in the pursuit of finding what you're looking for. Using certain keywords, more or less detail in your search, and having particularly reliable resources that you can default to in times of need are all ways to make the discovery and acquisition of data much easier. Ethics and citation is a very important competency to have, and so I was forced to learn it very early on in regard to my education/studies. Being cognoscente of every bit of information that you've used to help write a paper/presentation/any form of public writing is a major step in becoming more familiar with the practice. Personally, I got myself into a habit of creating and adding citations while I wrote in order to avoid any problems with forgetting sources of information or media, and I found that it made citation as a whole much easier and it practically eliminated the chances of plagiarizing, whether purposefully or accidentally.
Name two of these core competencies that you want to know more about? Why?
- I would love to know more about Data Conversion and Quality Assurance at some point. The first of the two I would like to learn more about because there are many situations in which data is difficult to access based on it's storage type/format and so while I may be able to access it on one computer with the necessary applications/capabilities, the same cannot be said about trying to do the same with a second computer (at school, in a library, etc.). I feel that knowing more about data conversion may help me get around those certain problems. As for Quality Assurance, I feel that keeping my technology and information safe is crucial in this current age of technology. Quality Assurance would teach me to keep files and information safe and secure from future issues that could corrupt or be made incomplete in some way or fashion, and I find that very important.
Christina Dominguez's Response
Name two of these core competencies are you most skilled with (or which is most familiar to you)? Where and how did you gain the skills/become familiar?
1. Ethics, including citation of data- I work for the Graduate Admissions office and work with sensitive database that contains personal and private information about applications. I understand the ethical aspect of keeping data private and secured in terms of not sharing it.
2.Data preservation- I try to emphasize organization in my work and feel that it has helped me to be skilled in this competencies when working with data especially in my research.
Name two of these core competencies that you want to know more about? Why?
1. Quality Assurance- This is an important competency for me to learn as it is crucial to know the accuracy and validity of the data at hand.
2. Databases and Data Formats- This is fundamental to the discipline and I would like to know more confidently about how to query relational databases.

Aby's Response
Name two of these core competencies are you most skilled with (or which is most familiar to you)? Where and how did you gain the skills/become familiar?
- I feel most familiar with the core values of Ethics in regards to how properly cite sources and understanding intellectual property. Given that this value is shared across almost all of my classes throughout my college career, I have been exposed to the necessity of acknowledging other people's work when creating my own papers, journals, and wiki pages.
- I am also familiar with Data Conversion since I have been required to convert documents that I have created into different formats for certain classes. Many of the courses I have taken have required me to convert Word documents into PDF's or to understand how to download certain files in a format that is compatible with my laptop.
Name two of these core competencies that you want to know more about? Why?
- I am interested in learning more about Data Sets becuase it seems applicable towards how I protect the data that I store on my own laptop.
- I am also interested understanding Data Visualization better becuase it is a core competency that seems to encourage creativity in how we construct, store, and present data.
