Data Acquisition and Management

Assessment - Unstructured Data Management

LO1: Evaluate ethical data acquisition and best practice about project initiation
LO2: Evaluate options for storing, accessing, distributing, and updating data during the life of a project.

PART A:

Record yourself doing the video quiz using zoom screen share.

1. In Week 4 class your lecturer will take you through how to record a video using Zoom (instructions on MyKBS under assessment table)

2. You will log into zoom using the instructions, share your screen and start recording.

3. You will then enter the "Video quiz" on MyKBS where you will need to:
• Complete Multiple Choice and short answer questions relating to the content from Topics 1-4 of the subjects.
• All questions will ask you to select/write your answer and also explain your reasoning on the video recording. The majority of the marks will be allocated for your on-camera explanations.
• Submit your video recording using instructions provided on MyKBS right after you finish your quiz.
• One question will ask you about the industry and application you have chosen for Part B and how these relate to unstructured data (make sure you prepare for this).

4. Once you start the quiz you will have 30 minutes to complete it. You can start it anytime between
10am Monday to 5pm Wednesday, Week 5.

5. No backtracking is allowed. Once you complete a question you cannot go back to the previous one.

6. You need to review Weeks 1-4 of class content, choose an industry and read articles for your report in Part B and be prepared to explain your answers.

2. Choose one application from that industry.
3. Introduce the industry and application, e.g., healthcare and image reconstruction (100 words)
4. Explain what sort of unstructured data could be used by an AI or Machine Learning algorithm in the area you chose. (200 words)
5. Discuss best practice and options with illustrations (500 words):
a. Accessing/collecting,
b. Storing,
c. Sharing,
d. Documenting
e. And maintenance of the data.

6. Propose a question that could be asked in relation to your unstructured data and what software might help you to run AI and answer the question. (100 words)

7. At least 10 Harvard style references (2 marks) and well-structured Report.
