Overview
The project addresses a research question or a practical problem through the application of Data Analytics theories, tools and techniques. It allows you to apply the knowledge of the research skills and practices used to undertake specific Data Analytics activities. It provides an opportunity to individualise your studies by concentrating on a specific problem domain.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Perform literature review or environmental scan to gather and analyse the state-of-art knowledge and practices in a specific area of Data Analytics
- Demonstrate advanced problem solving, analysis and design skills through a research project in a Data Analytics context.
- Apply advanced knowledge and skills in the project
- Apply research methodology and skills, and project management skills, based on advanced or specialised units.
- Demonstrate advanced skills in technical writing, documentation and presentation of technical content.
Content
You must develop and carry out a data analytics project. The project topic is decided by agreement between you and your QUT supervisor. The project may be a project in your existing advanced or specialised area, or a project in a complementary data analytics area supported within the course and in which you wish to build your skills and knowledge. Projects relevant to your current or intended employment are encouraged.
Learning Approaches
You are required to plan and execute a substantive project as part of your masters degree. This project is to be individually progressed, although you may be working in a research program, where other students are completing other parts of the program.
You may propose your own project, but it is your responsibility to have negotiated the appointment of an academic supervisor for your project by the end of Orientation Week.
You will be guided in this project by the QUT academic supervisor(s), who may engage an industry professional if the project is performed in an industry site within Australia. There will be regular meetings with your supervisor(s). This is to assure that you progress in the expected manner and will be an opportunity to discuss any problems you may have encountered. Feedback and further actions and recommendations will be provided to you during these regular meetings.
All project activities must be carried out within Australia and guided by a QUT academic supervisor. If your project activities are associated with other WIL (Work-Integrated Learning) programs, the learning outcomes of this unit must be fully retained, and the project must be assessed under this unit.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You can obtain feedback on your project plan, and oral presentation and reports from your supervisor and the academics who mark your works.
Assessment
Overview
All projects will be assessed according to the same set of assessment items specified below, regardless of university-based or industry-based projects. You are expected to pitch your detailed project proposal in week 3 to your supervisor. Other unit staff or industry sponsors may also be present.
In particular, you must produce a project plan, project report and make oral presentation. Work Logs or Diaries, software codes (if applicable) and Working Papers (e.g., analysis) can be attached as appendix to the final reports.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Professional Plans
Written project plan providing a description of the background, aim, significance, expected deliverables and development schedule of the project. In week 3, you will pitch your project concept, in order to obtain feedback: this formative assessment will help you finalise your project plan.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Presentation (Oral or Group)
Oral presentation about the project and its outcomes, including a demonstration or visualisation of your results.
Assessment: Report
Written project report providing a detailed description of the project and its outcomes. Project specific appendices to the report may be specified by your project supervisor.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
