Student Hnr Cde: As a UB student, I take persnal respnsibility fr emulating the highest values and ethical nrms: my wrk is my wn and reflective f my best effrts and abilities. COURSE SYLLABUS COURSE DESCRIPTION AND APPROACH: This curse is a required curse fr the cncentratin in infrmatin analytics and will intrduce the fundatins f infrmatics. The curse fcuses n business/engineering managers, infrmatin prfessinals, business/technlgy analysts, as well as general audience wh are interested in applying data mining, statistics and basic prgramming techniques t slve real-wrld prblems. The basic principles f infrmatics that gvern cmmunicatin systems, quantitative techniques, data structure, data management, supprt and evidence based business and technlgy decisin supprt will be explred. COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The curse learning bjectives are t: 1. T equip students with a basic backgrund in databases and analytics prgramming cncepts that relate t business intelligence and business analytics. 2. T develp technical skills necessary t manage prgrammers, develpers and thers in related areas. 3. T develp critical thinking and prblem slving skills arund business intelligence and analytics prgramming and data management methdlgies. 4. T prvide an verview f business intelligence slutin architecture and the tls required t cnduct and analyze infrmatin fr decisin supprt. 5. T prvide expsure t the tls and platfrms used in business intelligence. 6. T prvide expsure t Big Data Analytics, tls and technlgies. REQUIRED COURSE TEXTBOOK AND SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS: 1. (fr database) Abraham Silberschatz, Henry F. Krth, and S. Sudarshan, Database Systems Cncepts, 5th Editin, ISBN- 10: 0072958863 2. (fr data analytic) Michael Miltn, Head First Data Analysis, O Reilly. ISBN-10: 0596153937 Nte: Yu are encuraged t ask the Reference Librarian at Wahlstrm Library fr any ther research infrmatin yu may need regarding yur prject. Nte: These are ptinal textbks. The curse wrk is Lab riented and spanned ver varius tls and areas and therefre ne bk can t be enugh. Instructr will prvide relevant handuts, references and Lab manuals (electrnic r hard cpies). Nte: Students are advised nt t buy any bk until we have met fr first lecture and we can talk abut the best apprach t gather study material and bks. The UB bk distributin system is fr yu t rder the bks n line at http://www.bkstr.cm r at the UB Bkstre n the main campus. COURSE REQUIREMENTS: 1. Class Attendance, Participatin, Punctuality, Cheating and Plagiarism: Attendance at each class sessin is expected. Class lectures cmplement, but d nt duplicate, textbk infrmatin. Tgether the students and instructr will be creating a learning rganizatin. Students are expected t be n time fr class. A significant prtin f yur learning will accrue thrugh the cnstructive and respectful exchange f each ther s ideas (including mine!) and search fr alternative slutins. Yu must be actively engaged in class discussins t imprve yur thinking and cmmunicatin skills. Be certain that yur travel arrangements d NOT cnflict with any f yur team r individual presentatins. 2. Preparatin, Deadlines and Late Plicy: Late assignments will be penalized 20% fr each class day past the deadline. N 1
excuses will be accepted. Dn t wait until the last minute t print ut yur assignment. 3. UB Plicy: It is the student's respnsibility t familiarize himself r herself with and adhere t the standards set frth in the plicies n cheating and plagiarism as defined in Chapters 2 and 5 f the Key t UB http://www.bridgeprt.edu/pages/2623.asp r the apprpriate graduate prgram handbk. Cheating and plagiarizing means using the wrk f thers as yur wn. Cpying hmewrk, using papers frm the Internet, any talking r lking arund during exams and allwing thers t lk at yur exam papers are examples f cheating. As a UB plicy, it is expected that each student that attends ne hur f classrm instructin will require a minimum f tw hurs f ut f class student wrk each week fr apprximately fifteen weeks fr ne semester.
