COM5010 Assignment Brief

As part of the formal assessment for the programme you are required to submit a Data Analytics and Visualisation assignment. Please refer to your Student Handbook for full details of the programme assessment scheme and general information on preparing and submitting assignments. The assignment brief will specifically give details and instructions for the assignment. No examination, or details of, are included within this module.

Module description: Coursework 100%

Description: The assignment is given as three tasks, each one building from the previous within one dataset. Each task is to be answered individually, unless where multiple components have been given. Task 1 has been designed to check your importing, data cleaning and integrity processes. Task 2 continues to build upon Task 1 and validates your knowledge and understanding of descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing, the bedrock of any data analysis. Finally, Task 3 gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your dashboard configuration and analytical skills.

A clear, concise analysis and application for all Tasks are to be given within the submission, complimented with screenshot evidence of all processes and results. You are to submit a single Word document for all three tasks and a single Excel workbook containing multiple worksheets, one worksheet for each task. Your student ID number must be clearly defined upon each uploaded file.

Learning Outcomes:

1.Understand the different types of data and how to process, summarise and present it in a concise and meaningful way, acknowledging issues of data confidentiality and integrity.
2.Use appropriate IT packages to store, process and manipulate data.
3.Propose actions that are appropriate to the conclusions drawn from data.

Graduate Attribute: Effective Communication: Communicate effectively both, verbally and in writing, using a range of media widely used in relevant professional context. Be IT, digitally and information literate.

All learning outcomes must be met to pass the module.

COM5010 Guidance

Your assignment should include: a title page containing your student number, the module name, the submission deadline and the exact word count of your submitted document; the appendices if relevant; and a reference list in AU Harvard system(s). You should address all the elements of the assignment task listed below. Please note that tutors will use the assessment criteria set out below in assessing your work.

You must not include your name in your submission because Arden University operates anonymous marking, which means that markers should not be aware of the identity of the student. However, please do not forget to include your STU number.

Maximum word count: 4000 words equivalent

Please refer to the full word count policy which can be found in the Student Policies section here: Arden University | Regulatory Framework

COM5010 Assignment Task

Task 1 - Report Detail task 1

Importing and cleaning data

As part of a global data analyst company, you have been asked by your CEO to import and analyse this years’ employee details of all the companies’ identified from across the world using Excel. You are then to apply Excel text functions, where applicable, impute missing data and then apply appropriate security processes upon the worksheet to protect it before any analysis can be carried out. For each pre- processing activity, screenshot evidence is required of the steps taken to achieve the cleaned dataset in Excel.

Task 2

Detail Task 2 Hypothesis Testing

Having prepared the dataset in Task 1, perform an initial descriptive analysis study, with Histograms, for all attributes so initial comparative can be made. Finally, conduct an Inferential Hypothesis test, with appropriate null and alternative hypotheses on whether employees in the rest of the world, on average, get paid the same amount as their counterparts in the USA. Once the hypothesis test has been concluded, write a summary to the CEO with your statistical findings. For each activity detailed above, screenshot evidence is required of the steps taken to achieve each process in Excel and result.

TASK 3

Detail Task 3 Dashboards

With Tasks 1 and 2 now complete, create a fully interactive Dashboard in Excel, with slicers. Within the Dashboard there will be three separate charts which are to include, two Pivot Charts for wages. The third Pivot Chart is a chart of your choice, which you believe adds validity to your dashboard concerning whether there is pay equality between male and female employees.
With the aid of slicers, infer whether there is indeed disparity between male and female wages and detail what country the lowest paid male and female employees’ reside. Give justification for the design of the Dashboard and analysed results. For each activity detailed above, screenshot evidence is required of the steps taken to achieve each process in Excel and the end result.

A clear, concise analysis and application for all Tasks are to be given within the submission, complimented with screenshot evidence of all processes and results. You are to submit a single Word document for all three tasks and a single Excel workbook containing multiple worksheets, one worksheet for each task. Your student ID number must be clearly defined upon each uploaded file.

As technology and platforms may change, your module tutor will provide you with up-to-date details.

Formative Feedback

You have the opportunity to submit a draft report to receive formative feedback.

You are encouraged to submit your assignment for feedback once and it is 30% of your entire submission. You, the student, are to choose 30%, not the tutor. The last day for guaranteed feedback hand in is Monday of week 9 at 23:58. No formative feedback will be given after the time specified above for blended learning.

The feedback is designed to help you develop areas of your work and it helps you develop your skills as an independent learner.

If you are a Distance Learning student, then you are encouraged to send 30% of your assignment for feedback by email to your tutor, no later than two weeks before the actual submission deadline. Dates will be given to you by your tutor on a module-by- module basis.
If you are a blended learning student, your tutor will give you a deadline for formative feedback and further details.

Formative feedback will not be given to work submitted after the above date or the date specified by your tutor - if a blended learning student.

Referencing Guidance

You MUST underpin your analysis and evaluation of the key issues with appropriate and wide ranging academic research and ensure this is referenced using the AU Harvard system(s).

COM5010 Assessment Criteria (Learning objectives covered – all

Level 5 reflects the continuing development in knowledge, understanding and skills from Level 4. At Level 5, students are not expected to be fully autonomous but are able to take responsibility for their own learning with appropriate guidance and direction. Students are expected to further develop their theoretical knowledge within a more intellectual context and to demonstrate this through more complex forms of expression which move beyond the descriptive or imitative domain. Students are expected to demonstrate skills of analysis in

both problem-solving and resolution.
