Python Program for Data Transfer and Formatting
“My favorite part of this project was interacting with the client—updating them on the project's progress, managing expectations, and learning to be flexible during live troubleshooting when things didn’t work as intended. These experiences taught me a lot about adaptability, communication, and effective problem-solving in real-time. Throughout this process, I enhanced my skills in prompt engineering, Python development, and client relations.”

Project Title: Python Program for Data Transfer and Formatting
Description: Stacey Manley, Assistant to the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, aimed to develop a program that could automatically transfer information from a spreadsheet to a text document, preserving specific formatting. This program eliminated the tedious task of manually copying and pasting information between documents. Starting with a robust prompt to ChatGPT as a springboard to guide the project in the right direction, the Digital Initiatives, Scholarship, and Collaboration (DISC) team proceeded to design the program using Python.
