Lectures will focus on the transfer of basic intelligent system concepts and techniques where comprehension is substantially enhanced by additional elaboration and illustration. Students may need to review their knowledge of statistics and mathematics

2. Computer Applications
In the applıcation component, Spreadsheet Software and a particular data analysis packages will be employed to perform analyses of problem domain. Instruction on the use of this software as it relates to business intelligence problems will be provided in class and in the book.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

1. Assignemnents

In-class and out-of-class practice problems will be given frequently. It is essential for the student to work on and understand these problems in order to successfully complete the course. It can also be defined as homework according to the conditions of the course.

Each student will develop their analytical skills and at the same time increase their competence on the software tool, which includes a data mining plug-in spreadsheet tool and a business application for data analysis. Each student will develop their communication and analytical skills through business intelligence concepts and business practices by actively participating in classroom assignments.


2. Term Project

Case studies or real life applications will provide a great opportunity for students to realize their analysis and modeling skills for real situations and develop solutions. The cases will be assigned to each student/group by the instructor at the beginning of the term. Topics will focus on the analysis of cases of business intelligence for problems encountered in the management of a manufacturing or service oriented business, government or non-profit organization.

Case analysis and reports of real life applications will be submitted to the instructor online a week before the last week. Each case and application report will be written using Microsoft Word and / or Excel and will include: (i) a title page containing the title of the case and the full names of the authors, (ii) the main part of the report starting on the second page, (iii) report appendices.

Assessment Criteria

1. Applications and assignements require a collaborative effort. If group work is done, it is the responsibility of the group to ensure that each group member contributes approximately equally to the group work. Applications will be graded by the faculty member and group members. Each member of the group will be asked to evaluate his and other group members' contribution at the end of the semester. A peer review form will be provided in the last week of the course.

2. Application reports will be evaluated on the basis of the clear understanding of the subject, the originality of the handling and discussion, the accuracy of the results, the comprehensiveness of the report content and the depth of the analysis, clarity and organization, format, punctuation, grammar, and the quality of the visuals.
