The Analytics Practicum module (ANLY482) is a compulsory module for those who are taking the 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.
Prerequisites
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.
Objectives Through this course, students will: Apply fundamentals of business analytics in solving a real world problem including the formulation of a business problem and developing a data driven approach to solve it. Students will also get an opportunity use industry tools for data exploration and apply analytical techniques to uncover insights on a dataset By the end of this course students will be able to understand and appreciate the nuances involved in applying analytics in their area of specialization
