Welcome to ANLY482 Analytics Practicum
In recent years, there is an increasing use of data analytics to discover business issues and to drive business strategy throughout organizations. This has created a parallel rising demand for business graduates, who understand how to use data analytics, to solve business issues. To prepare students taking Analytics Second Major to cope with this demand, this course provides students the practical experience on how to apply the analytics techniques and tools that they have learned in class to help companies solve real world challenges.
IMPORTANT: ANLY482 Analytics Practicum is a compulsory module for students who are taking the Analytics Second Major program.
Analytics Foundation is a Pre-Requisite. It is recommended to take the Practicum course after completing 2 to 3 other analytics electives in order to make the most of the Practicum course. Each listed Analytics Practicum project, might have a list of additional recommended courses which are closely associated with the project area and will come in handy if you take up that project.
Students taking this course are required to form a team of three members. They will work closely with their industry sponsor to identify the business problem, to compile the necessary data, to transform the data into analytics data mart, to perform the analysis by using appropriate analytics techniques and tool(s) and to present their findings to the stake-holder of the project sponsor organisation. Last but not least, the students are required to document the lesson learned through working on the project in the form of practice research paper and present their paper in the Undergraduate Conference of Data Analytics.
