Assignment 4: Final (Group) Project

Here are the assignment instructions.  Groups MUST be 4 or 5 members.  You may not do this assignment on your own or in smaller groups than 4.

The assignment is due April 24, 2017. We’ll do the presentations Monday and Wednesday.

Please create a group of 4 or 5 members and comment under this post with the names of the members of your group by 5:00pm April 3rd,2017  . Students who are not members of a group by April 3rd will be assigned to a group by me. I will update this post with the final list of groups by 6:00pm on April 3rd.

Here are the groups for Assignment 4. If you were randomly assigned to a group, please make sure to contact other group members asap.

NOTE: Every group must inform me about the issue they are going to investigate and the data set they are going to use by April 10th 2017. Email or talk to me in person during office hours/after class.

Assignment 3: Cleaning a Data Set

Here are the instructions (in Word)   (and as a PDF).  Make sure you read them carefully!  This is an assignment that should be done individually.

And here is the data file you’ll need: VandelayOrders(Jan).xlsx.

When your assignment is complete, please send your files as an attachment to MIS_085.277vkuok275ml5fh@u.box.com from your Temple email account. Make sure that your files contain your last name in the file name. If your email upload is successful, you will receive a confirmation receipt via email from the Temple OwlBox system. SAVE THIS RECEIPT! It is your proof that your submission was submitted, the name of the document, and the time/date of submission.

If you don’t receive a confirmation email, it likely means your submission was not successful. Try again, and contact me if you’re having recurrent issues.

Your assignment must be submitted by 8:59am, March 20, 2017 to be on time. You can always check the Syllabus for Assignment due dates. Remember, and this is also in the Syllabus:

“Late Deliverable Policy
A deliverable (assignment, weekly question response, or online quiz) is considered late if it is submitted after the beginning of class. No late deliverables will be accepted without penalty, and equipment failure is not an acceptable reason for turning in a deliverable late.
All assignments will be assessed a 20% penalty (subtracted from that assignment’s score) each day they are late. No credit will be given for assignments turned in more than three days past the due date. However, you must submit all assignments, even if no credit is given. If you skip an assignment, an additional 10 points will be subtracted from your final grade in the course. For example, if you do not turn in an assignment worth 5% of the course grade, you will receive no credit for that assignment plus a 10 point penalty, reducing your maximum grade in the course to an 85.”

Assignment 2: Analyze a Data Set Using Tableau

Here is the assignment.

Here is the worksheet as a Word document to make it easy to fill in and submit (along with your Tableau file).

And here is the data file you will need to complete the assignment [In-Class Exercise 2.1 – 2015 Car Fuel Econ [Start].xlsx].

When your assignment is complete, please send your files as an attachment to MIS_085.meqayeklwamfaekc@u.box.com from your Temple email account. Make sure that your files contain your full first and last name in the file name, for example, “Ermira Zifla – Assignment 2”.  If your name on file is Jacob and you go by Jake, please put in either “Jacob” or “Jacob (Jake).” Don’t just put in “Jake.” Also, if your full name is “Nathan Pham,” don’t put in “NPHAM.” I will not be able to find you on the roster.

If your email upload is successful, you will receive a confirmation receipt via email from the Temple OwlBox system. SAVE THIS RECEIPT! It is your proof that your submission was submitted, the name of the document, and the time/date of submission.

If you don’t receive a confirmation email, it likely means your submission was not successful. Try again, and contact me if you’re having recurrent issues.
