| − | The [[Analytics]] Practicum module (ANLY482) is a compulsory module for those who are taking the [[Analytics]] [http://sis.smu.edu.sg/2nd-majors-analytics Second Major program]. It involves a project that assess the students' ability to apply analytics in real-time events extensively. These projects come from both the academics and industry. Students can also get a good sense of how [[analytics]] are used in their field of study.

This project aims at quantifying and studying the trends in human emotions expressed by [http://twitter.com/| Twitter] users over a period of time. The data-set provided comprises of social media data in form of tweets published by Singapore-based Twitter users over several months. Individual teams have to come up with their granular analysis of change in mood trends, periods of significance (may be weekends or any weekday) and other noteworthy actionable insights coming out of analysis done. It is expected that the results are presented as a web-based visualization that summarizes the trend of the happiness level over time and allows the inspection of factors associated with the happiness level at a certain point in time. Also, it should provide the end-users with various drill-down features to choose from while interacting with the end system.
