here is my homework instruction
ObjectivesВВ
The objective of this project is to give you an opportunity to analyze a dataset using a free dataВВ
visualization tool. This activity will allow you to put in practice some of the concepts you will learn in thisВВ
class and to experience the power of business intelligence tools as they enhance decision supportВВ
activities in an organization. After college, you will be using this type of tools and performing this type ofВВ
analysis as part of your daily job.ВВ
GradingВВ
The maximum score on this project is 100. This project will replace your quiz grade or your mid termВВ
exam, whichever has the smallest contribution to your final grade.ВВ
The project requires you to:ВВ
– Select a dataset to analyze and explain why the dataset was selected.ВВ
– Create a visualization that tells a story from the dataset.ВВ
Students will upload to Blackboard a PDF file containing (1) information about the dataset used and anВВ
explanation of why it was selected, (2) a screenshot of the visualization created, and (3) an explanationВВ
of what story is the visualization is telling us. The due date is December 7 (no exceptions).ВВ
Visualization Tools use others as needed):ВВ
– Microsoft ExcelВВ
– MicroStrategy Desktop (free): https://www.microstrategy.com/us/desktopВВ
– Microsoft Power BI (free): https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/get-started/ВВ
Data Sets (use others as needed):ВВ
– US Government’s Open Data – http://www.data.gov/ВВ
– Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services – http://www.cms.gov/OpenPayments/Explore-theData/Data-Explorer.htmlВВ
– US Census – https://www.census.gov/en.htmlВВ
Evaluation criteriaВВ
– Originality. Select an interesting dataset from one of the recommended sources.ВВ
– Relevancy. Make sure to select a dataset that reflects local and current data. Iowa datasets areВВ
better than US datasets. 2016 year datasets are better than older datasets.ВВ
– Story telling. Use a set of related visualizations that tell a story.ВВ
– Visual appearance. Visualizations need to be visually appealing.ВВ
