Written Responses

Review the source of the dataset here. For the following reflection questions, consider data retrieval methods, accuracy of data collected, and how it's used as a public dataset (e.g. presentation of data, publishing in media, etc.). All of your answers should be complete sentences and show thoughtful responses. "No" or "I don't know" or any response like that are not valid responses for any questions. We are looking to see you explain your critical thinking!
