According to Kirk (2016), most of your time will be spent working with your data. The four following group actions were mentioned by Kirk (2016):

Data acquisition: Gathering the raw material

Data examination: Identifying physical properties and meaning

Data transformation: Enhancing your data through modification and consolidation

Data exploration: Using exploratory analysis and research techniques to learn

Your response will include a pretend project/initiative/effort that does require data to be used as an objective. You will first provide 3-5 sentences describing this effort. You will then describe the actions that would be performed for each group.
