2610 - BUSINESS ANALYTICS SPECIAL PROJECT

4. Assessment

A student’s final grade will depend on the quality of the following project components (C’s) (the group mark):

o   C1 - Project Charter

(including Data Dictionary) (20%)

o   C4 – Modelling Report (including the Plan for Testing) (35%)

o   C2 - Exploratory Data Analysis (25%)

o   C3 – Modelling Roadmap and Baseline Model (15%)

o   C5 – Pipeline Completed (5%)


And also on his/her team’s peer assessment (the contribution mark). The contribution mark is used to weight the group mark, so that a student who makes an average contribution to the project is awarded the group mark, and those who make greater (or lesser) contributions receive more or less than the group mark.

To ensure fairness in the results, a moderation will be conducted before computing the final value of the contribution mark. In particular, the course instructor will 

  • check that the comments justify the scores given (scores that are not justified can be removed and the average contribution mark will be recalculated).
  • check if there are common themes with comments from different group members. oinclude the feedback from the team’s mentors.

Therefore, the final grade will be calculated using the formula:

final grade = (group mark) x (individual contribution mark)/(average contribution mark)

Deadlines:

o   Component C1 is due on December, 7.

o   Component C2 should be delivered by February, 1.

o   The Modelling Roadmap and the first results obtained by the Baseline Model (Component C3) should be presented on March, 6.

o   By the end of the 2nd semester (May, 29), the Technical Report (Component C4) must be concluded.

o   Finally, the last component C5, as well as the peer assessment should be uploaded on the course moodle’s page on June, 8.
