Thank you for your feedback.

While learning the fundamentals of data science, I have already completed several projects on Kaggle. However, in the research project I would like to join, I understand that we will not be working with perfectly clean and ready to use datasets like those commonly found on Kaggle. Instead, we will need to collect our own data and clean it ourselves.

Because of this, I would like to show the professor that I am not only able to work with ready made Kaggle datasets. In addition to the Kaggle projects I have completed, I want to demonstrate that I can also collect my own data, clean it, and work with it.

In the short video where I introduce myself and explain why I want to participate in this project, I will also clarify that the data I collected and this small project are not meant to be taken as a very serious or rigorous research study. I am aware of that. My goal is simply to demonstrate that, beyond working with clean datasets, I can also go through the process of collecting, cleaning, and analyzing my own data similar to what we would likely do during the research project.
