BACKGROUND
We were given the questions:
How would you describe the walking gait of the subject?
What quantities would you gather?
Symmetry, variability, and dynamic?
How could an accelerometer be used?

REFLECTION
During this project, we tested the Gait data of our partners in the class. To do this we held an accelerometer app at our center of gravity and walked a bit. There was some challenges while doing this because we were not assigned a given time were supposed to walk, how far we should walk, and a unanimous height. When we had to analyze the class data it was hard to compare it to ours because everyone measured thing differently. I had challenges to figure out what exactly from the class data I wanted to use in my model. It was also hard to interpret all of it because some teams put it in different formats than I was used to. Also, not everyone measured their experiment the same way. Some teams went for longer lengths of time, more and less steps, were taller and shorter, and had different recording apps. Everyone within my team had a chance to input ideas, we both were able to contribute to the model and data analysis. When I was not sure about another teams data collection we would ask to clarify what they meant by their numbers and data. I did this by politely asking them to explain quickly how they received and showed their data. I think to design a better experiment we should have had set things we needed to follow like how long to walk, how high to hold the recording device, and how many steps to take. It was a challenge to have to fix it after we collected our data so it is important to collect correctly the first time. It was very easy to work with google sheets because it was simple to split and organize the data and then eventually turn it into a graph to visualize.
