Big Data Analytics for Business WSE-EK-MON-BDAB
The exponential growth in the amount of human-generated data and increasingly powerful machines continues to accelerate. Data scientists have recently proposed different methods to analyze this category of data, known as Big Data.
It is important that economic decision-makers are at least able to fully understand and interpret the results provided by data scientists at economic level. This is precisely the ultimate goal of this course in terms of social competence for the future economists and / or business leaders: to familiarize them with big data visualization and analysis as a source of valuable information addressing to fundamental questions of professionals. The course begins with a basic introduction to big data. It then discusses what the analysis of this data entails, as well as the associated technical, conceptual and ethical challenges. It also provides a first practical experience in the management and analysis of large and complex data structures .

2 –bad work- a student has not provided the work, or the work is not her independent achievement, is chaotic with regard to Big Data different concepts and technical analysis methods. a student does understand basic concepts related to Big Data analytics. He avoids any discussion related to Big Data issues.
3 – enough good- a student proves to understand basic concepts of Big Data in different aspects related to business analytics and data mining shown in the lecture. He can visualize the statistical data using the taught software during the lectures. He still shows difficulties to master the empiric side of Bid Data with respect to data mining techniques. a student basic insights related to Big Data concepts and visualization. He does not master computational tech-niques but recognizes its usefulness. He would be ready to increase knowledge and competences for professional purposes.
4 – good_ a student has provided a good work and stated problems and positions correctly. He is able to choose and apply the adequate quantitative methods depending on the type of the problem at hand. a student initiates discussions related to big data issues and can understand various reports presented by data engineers in the fields of business or economics analytics.
