Assessment Task 1: Data Exploration
Objective: The main objective of this assessment task is to apply data exploration and feature engineering techniques to real-world business problems.
Relevant Learning Objectives:
• Subject Learning Objectives: SLO 1
• Course Intended Learning Outcomes: CILO D.1
Format:
• Type: Report
• Work: Group assignment, but each member will be individually assessed.
Weightage: 30% of the overall grade.
