Assessment - Case Study Team Report and Presentation

Overview
Data Mining process is a manifestation of the best practices which provides a systematic way to conduct data mining projects. There are several steps (i.e., data understanding, data selection, data cleaning, data transformation, model building, testing and evaluation, and deployment) in a typical data mining process. For a successful, it is essential to follow these steps.

Students are expected to work in a team to prepare a report that details the data mining process on a selected data set. This assessment aims to enable students to create a report that develops their skills to develop data analytics solution for a given case.

Students are required to select a data set and answer the following questions:
- What is the purpose of the data set, and what kind of business questions can be answered from the chosen data set?
- Assess the suitability of data preprocessing approaches (e.g., data cleaning, data transformation, data reduction) and justify the applied techniques for the chosen data set.
- Determine and justify the appropriate data mining task and method for the selected data set.
- Build and evaluate multiple models for the selected data set.
- Design an interactive dashboard using 3-4 charts/graphs/illustrations to represent the results.

Learning Outcome 1: review and differentiate between the methods of data analysis and presentation;

Learning Outcome 2: analyse internal and external sources of data relevant to business environments including technology and service utilisation data to identify relationships and trends;

Learning Outcome 3: develop and apply skills in spreadsheets to sort, manage, summarise and display data to support managerial decision-making;

Learning Outcome 4: evaluate conclusions extracted from the various data types and analytic tools;

Learning Outcome 5: demonstrate an ethical approach to gathering, interpreting and applying and presenting business data analytics

Assessment Details
For this assignment, students are required to write 2,500 words report on a specific case study and explain the data mining process applied to a selected data set. Students can choose any suitable data set that is publicly available on the internet.

In week 11, students will be required to present their project and get feedback from the Lecturer to ensure that they are tracking well for their report submission. Students are expected to work in teams of 4 and undergo their own research without collaboration with any other group. No two groups will work on the same case study and students are expected to prepare a comprehensive report on the application of their knowledge of data analytics on a given case study.

1. All reports must include at least 10 academic references which must be done using APA7 reference style.

2. The case study must assess the value propositions of the chosen data set and discuss what types of business questions can be answered using the data set. It must highlight the suitability of data preprocessing approaches for the selected data set. It must highlight the appropriate data mining task and method that are applicable to the data set. Students must also highlight the best data mining model suitable for the chosen data set.

3. This unit requires you to use APA system of referencing. See Sydney International's quick reference guide. It should be used in conjunction with the online tool Academic Writer.

4. A passing grade will be awarded to assignments adequately addressing all assessment criteria. Higher grades require better quality and more effort. For example, a minimum is set on the wider reading required. A student reading vastly more than this minimum will be better prepared to discuss the issues in depth and consequently their report is likely to be of a higher quality. So before submitting, please read through the assessment criteria very carefully.
