• First, you’ll fill out an Analytical Skills Table in your learning log entry. The table will appear like this
in the template:
• Analytical skill column: -Curiosity -Context -Technical mindset -Data design -Data strategy
• The table has a row for each essential aspect of analytical skills: 
• Curiosity: a desire to know more about something, asking the right questions
• Understanding context: understanding where information fits into the “big picture”
• Having a technical mindset: breaking big things into smaller steps
• Data design: thinking about how to organize data and information
• Data strategy: thinking about the people, processes, and tools used in data analysis 
• You will put an X in the column that you think best describes your current level with each aspect.
The three ratings are:
• Strength: This is an area you feel is one of your strengths
• Developing: You have some experience with this area, but there’s still significant room for growth
• Emerging: This is new to you, and will gain experience in this area from this course 
• Then update the Comments/Plans/Goals column with a quick note to yourself about why you chose
those ratings.
