Abstract


“If you can’t beat it, edit it” This was mentioned in an article by Cornell University on how they embraced the use of Wikipedia as a teaching resource[1]].Likewise, for this course ISSS608 Visual Analytics and Applications itself, we have been using Wiki to communicate and share course material, assignments, etc. Empirical studies showed that Wikipedia is heavily and frequently used by a large majority of university students to carry out different assignments and tasks (Wannemarcher and Schulenburg 2010) (Wannemacher, K.; and Schulenburg, F. 2010. Wikipedia in Academic Studies: Corrupting or Improving the Quality of Teaching and Learning? [1]]


Problem and Motivation


“The public housing resale market has continued on its long stabilisation path”, according to Singapore Real Estate Exchange (SRX) in a Straits Times article dated 5 Aug 2016 [1]]. The cooling measures introduced by the Housing Development Board (HDB) over the past seven years (since 2009) seem to be taking effect, with a general downward trend in the number of resale flats transacted over time. However, quite often we do hear of news on certain HDB units sold at record prices, hence one may still wonder whether the property market is stable or not.
