For the reflection: select one of the objectives you identified to accomplish during your OLE for the first week at your site. Review the course content, resources, and literature related to your objective to prepare for your experience.

After completing your observation this week, create a video reflection documenting your experience.  This will serve as your “time log” at your site.

The video should include:

Identify your total number of hours for this week for your OLE
The objective you focused on
What you learned in your preparation
What you learned in your observation including any questions you asked
Report if you were able to meet your objective with a rationale as to why or why not
How have these activities contributed to your professional development?
Relate these activities to a role as a health and/or public health professional
Identify specific skills acquired through participation in these activities (i.e., program planning and evaluation, needs assessment, grant writing, program management)

wind data analysis using matlab and excel

the report should include and introduction ( objectives ) , ethics and research

the excel sheet has all the information needed.
while the word document is the aim of the project. don’t focus on the entire aim just focus on the topics listed above ( introduction , ethics and research )

Let’s use 2003 initially – it has the smallest standard deviation.
Introduction could include:

a description of what you hope to achieve by carrying out the data analysis
a description of the site – with a screenshot from Google Maps if possible
a description of the data – sampling intervals, data collected, etc.
(we’ll revisit the data – we’ll carry out a “sanity check” on the data to make sure it’s reasonable data rather than simply using it on trust)
why you rejected 2006
why you selected 2003
a graph showing weekly average wind speed for 2000-2005
a graph showing weekly average wind speed for 2003
…anything else that you think would be interesting or relevant!

For example, your Introduction could also include a section called: “Wind Energy in Ireland”.

don’t forget the references to be IEEE.
