May 22, 2017 -- SienaSemanticsSurvey -- Code Breakdown -- Cell #3, #4, & #5

Cell #3

deletes any student's repeated data within each individual year's data
_________________________________________________________________________________

Cell #4

Using order of (self, Fsurvey, name, year, limit, end):

semS14=Survey(SemanticsS14, "Semantics", "2014", 7, 32)
          defined in Cell #2 ^               ^ name       ^year     ^ relevant columns to include from results

                                                                                         ^ # varies per survey questions that year

semS17.Questions --> pulls all of the columns from the first row of the year's data which will include the questions that were asked on the survey to know what the responses are related to.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Cell #5

Using the data/what was printed using the semS17.Questions, names of the columns are replaced with what the question was. (vary from year to year)

6/14/17 Notes

I want to write a code so that I can search the name of a class, and everyone who took that class will appear. Originally I assumed I could use the same command I did to search for a specific name, and then edit that so the code would search for a specific person. However, looking at the format of the file, there are four different columns that contain class information, while there’s only one column with name information. I am going to see if I can search for a specific class in the “Am S1” column first to see if everything runs smoothly, and if that works, I will look for ways to search for an ID word in multiple columns. I tried this command. Only the column headings are appearing and nothing else Studentinfo14[Studentinfo14['Am S1'].str.contains('Discovery', na=False)] I changed “Studentinfo14” to attendance so that the code would look for this information in the attendance file instead of the master file. This worked, but using this file means that I ca...

6/06/17 Notes (formatting code and searching for a specific person)

Working on fixing the format of the code, deleting cells, and making sure everything in an organized order to make it easier to use Earlier I was having a problem displaying the Confidence survey chart so I renamed all the columns and then it displayed. I now found that the command “ConfidenceS#.lock[:,:] also works, and is much more efficient because now I don’t have to go through each survey and copy and past the column names for every year of every survey. This works for all of them except Semantics, not sure why. I finished adding all the survey information I needed to merge all the surveys for 2014. I keep getting errors in the cells that deal with inverting numbered responses because certain column headers “don’t exist.” This means I actually will have to rename all the columns. However, for some reason this does not affect the cells that merge all the data. I successfully uploaded all the files onto the code and merged all the surveys and the attendance spreadsheet to...
