Big Data Consulting Project is the first in a sequence of experiential courses for full-time MBA students. The course features a partnering organization (client), which provides a large dataset accompanied with inquiries. Students work in teams, to answer the client’s inquiries using a combination of descriptive and predictive analytics. To this end, students may use a combination of data visualization tools and programming languages for data analysis (such as Tableau and R). The students will be introduced to these techniques and tools in the lecture component of the course as well as in earlier courses such as the Bootcamp: Immersion in Technology, Data Science: Statistics, and Data Science: Econometrics for Market Analysis. In this first course of the experiential sequence, the students will adopt several planning and feedback tools that will help them work as a team.
