Description
The data analytics project course provides students the opportunity to apply and extend concepts, skills and techniques learned throughout the remainder of their program. Assessment includes submission of project final report and an oral presentation. The projects undertaken can span a diverse range of topics in the realm of statistics and data analytics more broadly, and they can involve theoretical as well as applied work. Topics can vary from year to year, and a selection of pre-specified topics may be provided each year (possibly, but not necessarily, including WIL opportunities). Student learning will be enriched through exposure to research and/or project management skills. This course will be conducted largely as project work under the direct supervision of a member of academic staff.
