Final Project Overview
Over the course of the semester we will work on analyzing data and creating visuals in a number of different areas related to business, from human resources, to finance, to operations. The Final Project provides you with an opportunity to use a class dataset, or another dataset of your choosing, to dig deeper and suggest data-driven insights.
The Final Project will ask you to provide an overview of the data you are using, to describe how you cleaned and formatted that data (in Excel or Tableau), and present information gleaned from the data using both graphs and tables (more information on specific requirements are contained in the below rubric).
Additionally, the Final Project asks you to present this information both verbally and visually in a professional manner, enabling an audience member without much or any background knowledge of the data to understand your work and your insights.
