DSC4183 — Analytics Practicum
The objective of this course is to ensure that students have the skills and knowledge to manage and implement an analytics project; it serves as a capstone course. Project management basics are covered along with consulting practices, ethics, and standard practices. Students are required to choose an appropriate methodology for a given problem; this task varies from previous coursework where a technique is given along with the problem. Students complete their studies with an actual project for a business from which they will most likely have the experience of working with less-than-perfect data. Prerequisites: DSC 3153, DSC 3163, DSC 4043, DSC 4153, DSC 4163, and DSC 4173, all with a C or better OR instructor’s consent.
