Example Reﬂection — Mind Mapping 

 Challenge 

 I am a project manager of a nonproﬁt organization related to technology and my challenge is to   lead two interns who are college students to develop a “ R package ” ( R   is a   programming   language   and   free   software environment for   statistical computing   and graphics ) about air pollution   using the data sensed by our developed sensor module in order to make more people access   data easily as well as engage in the project focusing on air pollution and then be willing to do   further analysis . In addition , two interns can only work remotely so we wo n’t be able to discuss   face to face . It would result in taking more time to communicate and understand each other .   According to the goal , we need to develop a variety of functions that meet users ’ need and can   inspire them to do further . Therefore , we will focus on trying to uncover what kind of information   people are more interested in and can attract more attention . 

 Selection 

 Since we need to ﬁnd out what kind of functions meets users ’ expectation , we are going to survey   and collect a lot of results of interview . Then , analyze them and divide them into diﬀerent groups   based on the similarity . This is just what mind mapping does well . It 's used to look for patterns   and insights as well as lead to more creative solutions to my design challenge . 

 Application 

 After having the related information collected from social media and the issues which users are   more concerned about through the interview , I sent all the data to the interns and scheduled a   video conference so as to explore the patterns and insights together from the information that we   collected . 

 At ﬁrst , I wrote each information on a sticky note independently and showed them through the   camera . Next , we spent a lot of time grouping some sticky notes into clusters based on relevance .   After many rounds of discussion , we then made sure the certain groups . Finally , we gave each   cluster a label that is a theme users are interested in . 

 Insight 

 After applying the mind mapping tool , we can organize lots of collected issues and come up with   new idea . Therefore , our team got some themes that users want to know but we do n't anticipate   before . Then , based on the themes we can design suitable functions of R package that satisfy   users ’ need and inspire them to develop further . This tool makes me think in a creative way and   broadly . Furthermore , the more valuable aspect of this tool is bring stakeholders together to share   insights and learning that occur while they are working to deﬁne the problem . 

 Approach 

 Since I ﬁnd out that the most value of mind mapping is make everyone who engage in the activity   have a deep understanding of what are the problems . Hence , participants can share insights and   focus on the proposed problems . Then , we can incorporate these insights into following   development . Next time , I would also use the mind mapping tool as a starting point for a series of   design thinking activities .

### 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.
