Assignment Brief

Assignment Objective

At the end of this assignment the students will be able to address real life situations (depending on the topic chosen by the students) where they could either develop BI systems, propose solutions in Business Intelligence adoption, develop strategies for data mining and help organization in their data mining use and adoption.

Requirements

The students will be required to fulfil the requirements as follows.

1. Choose their own topic for the project with the lecturer directions

1. Investigate the business where they will investigate their project

1. Identify the business needs for BI.

1. Identify the best BI technique to introduce to their project

1. Familiarise with the relationship of Data Mining (DM) to BI

1. Familiarise with the different DM techniques

1. Select the best DM strategy for their project and link it to their project’s BI adoption

Deliverables

The students will be required to submit the following at the end of the semester

1. A project report of no more than 3500 words

1. Deliver a 10 minutes Weekly Oral presentation during the class an Oral Presentation

1. An Oral presentation on the project in week 12

1. Final report in week 12 (3500 words)

Assignment I

You are to discuss the project title with the lecturer in order to make sure that you will be able to finish your project on time and in order to ensure that the topic and the work do cover the unit’s requirement. The choice of the topic should encompass areas in Business Intelligence use, adoption, techniques, implementation etc. In addition, a project might also address Data mining and its use and techniques. Finally, projects might address the relationships between BI and DM and how they work together. The objective from the project is to identify a case question that your project addresses and work during the semester to investigate on how you fulfil the aim of the project.

The focus of your assignment project this semester will be to implement BI and/or Data mining in a real life situation.

Marking criteria

Marking Criteria

Your work will be assessed based on the successful completion of the components as follows.

	Introduction	Subject Knowledge	Supporting Material	Report Presentation
High Distinction	Introduction written to an excellent level, provides an exceptional understanding of the situation	The deliverable demonstrated knowledge of the previous units by integrating major and minor concepts into the solution	All relevant information was Obtained and all information sources were valid. Analysis and design considerations were well supported by the information	Excellent presentation of report. It was well organised and clearly written. The underlying logic was clearly articulated and easy to follow. Words were chosen that precisely expressed the intended meaning and supported reader comprehension. Diagrams or analyses enhanced and clarified presentation of ideas. No grammatical or spelling error
Distinction	Introduction written to a good level, provides a good understanding of the situation	The deliverable demonstrated knowledge of the previous units by integrating major concepts into the solution	Good information was obtained and most information sources were valid. Analysis and design considerations were mostly supported by the information	Good presentation of report. It was organised and clearly written for the most part. The underlying logic was articulated and but some can be difficult to follow. Diagrams or analyses were consistent with the idea. Minor grammatical or spelling error
Credit	Introduction written to a competent level, sufficient situation analysis was provided	The deliverable demonstrated some knowledge of the previous units by integrating some concepts into the solution but some are irrelevant	Sufficient information was obtained and some sources were valid. Analysis and design considerations were mostly supported by the information	Competent presentation of report. It was somewhat organised in most parts. The logic was difficult to follow. Diagrams or analyses were somewhat irrelevant. Some grammatical or spelling error
Pass	Introduction written poorly	The deliverable demonstrated very little knowledge of the previous units	Insufficient information was obtained and/or sources lack validity. Analysis and design considerations were not supported by the information collected	Poor presentation of report. The deliverable lacked overall organization. The reader had to make considerable effort to understand the underlying logic and flow of ideas. Diagrams were absent or inconsistent with the text. Grammatical and spelling errors made it difficult for the reader to interpret the text in places.
Fail	No introduction present	The deliverable did not demonstrate knowledge of the previous units	Very little information was provided and none of the sources were valid. Analysis and design considerations were not supported by the information collected	Very poor presentation of the report. General structure was not present and a lot of grammatical and spelling errors. No diagrams present or not relevant to the idea.
