Analyzing and Visualizing Data

Test Results Group Project

Part 1: The Presentation 

Each student will need to submit a copy of the presentation to this dropbox.

Each member of the team should have a copy of the presentation and submit it for grading.

This is just a submission of the presentation your grade will be based on the group presentation completed during the residency.

Here you should only submit a copy of your presentation.

Every day we use data in one way or another in our daily lives, we find ways to analyze situations and create viable solutions based on quantitative and qualitative information that we collect mentally as well as physically.  For this project, you are going to become an educational advisor for a fictional educational institution.  The Vice President of Instruction of the institution has provided you with the raw data of the assessment scores of their students’ final exam in their GED Preparation Course.  The course consists of scores in mathematics and English and Pass or Fail Overall Score.  There is also information in regard to the demographics of the students.

 

Based on the raw data that you have been provided, you are going to develop a  presentation using visuals of the data that have been provided.  You are going to make recommendations to the Vice President of Instruction of the University of suggested improvements that can be made based on your analysis of the data that has been provided to you.

 

Within   your data presentation, include:

1.  A variety of graphics that illustrate the represented data (at least 5)

2.  An explanation of what each graphic represents

3.  Explain how the graphics should be interpreted (include a key)

4.  Finally, summarize your analysis of the data and provide the VP with some suggestions to improve the quality of instruction within the school.  Refer to your visuals         within your summary.

For this assignment, you can use any method that you want to use.  Some students use Microsoft Word, some students have used Powerpoints.  

Make sure that it is a presentation format and each member of the team has an opportunity to present.
