Big Data

Assessment: Case Study Analysis Report

Objectives

This assessment item relates to the unit learning outcomes as in the unit descriptor. This assessment is designed to improve student research and writing skills and to give students experience in researching literature on a specific topic relevant to the Unit of Study subject matter.

Students will be expected to complete a literature review to discuss a contemporary Big Data, access, design or Information design issue which an IS professional may experience. Students will critically analyze current academic papers then present their work in a detailed literature review and analysis.

Assignment Description

This assessment will be completed individually. All students must have a different topic. Students can choose to write about the same technology, but the approach and the thrust of each paper must be different. To ensure this uniqueness, each student must decide on a topic and email their topic and title to their tutor within the first 2 weeks. Your tutor will respond with an approval or with a message that you will either need to choose a different topic or to change the thrust of your paper. You tutor may decide to do this for you. Once it has been approved you should begin by working towards the first deliverable.

The deadline for submitting the draft is in week 4, and it will be structured into the following sections:
Abstract

Introduction
At least 5 sections which are relevant to the topic you have been allocated
Conclusion
Reference
The final submission of your paper is due in week 4
The final submission should be no less than 1500 words. Your literature review should be presenting the state of current knowledge in the specific area of your topic, and as such, should have a narrative that flows from one paragraph to another. You cannot achieve this with bullet points and small disjoint sections.
