Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge & Selection 

 At university , I am learning to use different design thinking tools , one of them is mind mapping . 

 This is the most effective way to capture and represent the minds of potential customers . This approach   is important because it forms the background of data research in a way that allows you to extract   meaning from the data and emerging patterns and insights for the development of the project . 

 The last time I used this tool in the development of the user interface of my application . I 

 needed to develop an application in which the user would fill out a diary and indicate the calories   consumed throughout the day . Since I had the data after interviewing potential users , I needed to sort   piecemeal through the data . Therefore , our teacher divided us into groups for brainstorming . So I   started using the mind mapping tool in that case . 

 Application 

 Let me describe how I applied the mind mapping tool to solve my challenge . First of all , as I said , 

 we split into groups and created a board using the Miro platform . This helped us to divide the   information into a certain number of blocks and add electronic stickers to a certain block to follow the   development of the idea . Using the mind mapping tool , my team compiled a potential client 's empathy   map , where we indicated the user 's pains and desires . The stickers and links we marked between our   notes helped determine the core value of the service we were working on . This technique allowed us to   divide the tasks of the service into several differently formulated ones and decide which sections to   implement into the application and offer non - obvious ideas for using different sections of the electronic   food diary . 

 Insight & Approach 

 One thing I realized after using the mind mapping tool is that this method allows you to identify 

 patterns in a large amount of data in a more creative , more visual and more fascinating way . Since   studying how the mind mapping method works was part of homework at the university , it gave an   understanding of how ideas are generated in work projects between designers and attracted people   with different experiences and different worldviews around a common problem . Mind mapping allowed   my team to unleash creativity and intuition , which served us well throughout the rest of the process .   And I realized that mind mapping can be very funny and , as a result , supports the atmosphere in the   team and the desire to work further in order to eventually bring something new . 

 Thinking about what I could do differently next time using this tool , I can say that it would be 

 better to involve not only my design team , but also the users interviewed earlier to get a deeper   understanding of the proposed ideas .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
