HISTORY

/in /by

This is the online version of the research paper but instead of creating a written account of your research I want you to “show” me. In other words, I want you to create a presentation of your research. Using any presentation software, such as PowerPoint, create a presentation of a historical topic that falls within the parameters of the course (US History 1865 to present), take a position, and present your findings. The minimum slide requirement is 10, but don’t stop there. Use as many slides as you see necessary to prove your point. For examples, click here, here, here, and here.

Personal Billboard (POWER POINT)

/in /by

In an effort to get to know your classmates and reflect on your own experiences, you are required to create your “Employment Billboard.” This assignment allows you to tap into your creative abilities and design a digital montage, collage, or a melodic compilation of your job history, (if you have a limited job history incorporate your academic or athletic experiences).

Please do not feel obligated to discuss every job you have worked for or feel compelled to divulge anything personal. The goal is for us to begin a career life planning journey and process our experiences.

For this assignment, please include:

First job

Best/worst experience on the job

Friendships

Character/Values established

If fired/promotion

Things you learned about yourself/other

Personal hobbies

Hidden Talents

What does work mean to me? (Examples: do my best, help others excel, got paid…etc.)

The assignment also includes a brief presentation from your seat detailing your completed project.

CS666 : Project Due 5/4/20 at midnight. No extensions Value: 100 points (boost of one final letter grade)

§ 100 points will boost your final grade by 1 full letter grade.(e.g. B- to A-) § 50 points will boost your final grade by 1 quarter grade (e.g. B- to B)

Breakdown 25 points business problem 1 25 points business problem 2 50 points

Pick 2 of the 3 following business problems: Note: You must use more than one dataset

1) Regression Problem: Boston Housing Dataset I am a real estate agent and I have 3 clients selling their homes. I’m having trouble working with them and I need your data science skills. They don’t trust Zillow or any online service for setting prices. They’ve been burned by other real estate agents and the pricing formulas used. These homes are in the Boston Area and a trusted advisor told me that you may be able to use the boston housing dataset to help answer these questions:

§ What price would you recommend for each client? § Do these prices seem appropriate? How do you know? § What other factors should we be considering

Information Seller 1 Seller 2 Seller 3 Total number of rooms in the home 5 9 4 Poverty level 19% 8% 37% Student to teacher ratio 20:1 10:1 30:1

2) Classification Problem PIMA Indians Dataset Using the PIMA Indian Diabetes dataset to create a model that predicts whether or not a person has diabetes using the medical attributes provided.

§ What are some insights that you noticed in the data? § What are the 3 most important factors for determining whether or not someone in the

dataset is diabetic ?

Project Instructions

Each  year at the end of summer, Outdoor Recreation Unlimited puts on a major  sales event that includes live music, displays of discounted outdoor  clothing and gear, food vendors and fun outdoor activities in order to  sell their remaining retail and have a great time in the process. This  year, your boss has given you the task of being the project manager for  this event. The event will take place in three months and you’ll be  managing a team of five interns to help plan the event.

It is  your first time in a project management role and you want to prove to  him that you are knowledgeable and well-equipped to take on these type  of duties. He prefers to not micromanage you, but would like he and his  team of executives to be aware of your plans before you start the  project. To do this, he has asked that you put together a 10-15-slide  PowerPoint presentation for the company’s board of directors that  answers the following questions:

  • What are your cost estimates for the project? (You have an  unlimited budget, but in past years, costs for this event have not  surpassed $30,000.)
  • What major milestones and timeline will you adhere to?
  • How will you ensure quality and prepare for risks along the way?
  • How will you manage your team assigned to this project?
  • How you will report the status of the project?
  • How you will measure the success of the project at its close?
