| LearningOutcomes | The Subject Learning Outcomes demonstrated by successful completion of the taskbelow include:
|
In groups, apply advanced data analysis and visualisation skills, and create meaningful data visualisations for a public dataset. Then, create a 10-15-minute presentation as a short video explaining the findings of your visual analysis.
In Modules 3 and 4, you learnt about Advanced Data analytics and Visualisations techniques. You have also explored different analysis methods including descriptive, diagnostic and prescriptive analytics. This group presentation gives you the opportunity to select publicly available datasets, transform and clean data, apply advanced visualisation techniques and derive meaningful findings and insights about the data.
Step 1: Form groups of two members each. You may seek help from your learning facilitator.
Step 2: Select a publicly available dataset from the internet. Alternatively, you can use the same dataset used for A1, provided it allows you to apply the below listed advanced analytical methods.
Step 3: Explore the dataset thoroughly and provide a detailed description of the data variables and attributes.
Step 4: Find out the issues that the selected data has and apply suitable steps to handle the issues and errors if any. Also transform the data variables if needed, to make it suitable for subsequent analysis. Step 5: Formulate investigative questions that you can answer using the chosen data analytical methods.
Step 6: Analyse selected dataset using the selected tool and implement the advanced analytics and visualisation techniques. Creating meaningful visualisations that answer your questions, support your analysis and provide further visual insights into your data.
Step 7: Based on the above analysis and visualisation charts, identify important finding and add further insights.
Step 8: Carefully identify your limitations.
Step 9: Now create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation having the following sections:
Section1: Selected Dataset
Section 2: Selected Advanced Data analytics technique / Visual
Section 3: Visualisations (Diagrams)
Section 4: Findings and Limitations
Section 5: Group Work Distribution
Using the PowerPoint, create a video presentation in which your facilitator should be able to see you as well as the PowerPoint slides in the video. Please note that this 10-15-minutes video is like an online presentation. Both members of the group should take part in the video equally.
it is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research. Please see more information on referencing in the Academic Skills webpage.
