JBP000 (2019-3) Final Bachelor Project
Welcome to your digital environment for your Final Bachelor Project. This is an individual project, which is executed during one semester. The aim of the BEP is that a student shows that, for a perceived data science problem, (s)he is able to develop and formulate a research question, and analyze the problem making a justified choice for methods and techniques from the data science domain, with great level of independence. You can download the studyguide here! Course structure The BEP is organized as a course, and it is pre-structured with deliverables and milestones. Students are expected to hand in all deliverables on time. The general timeline of the BEP is shown below. Project supervision is done in so-called circles. A thesis circle typically consists of three to five students who work on related topics from the same supervisor. Supervision in circles aims to encourage students to learn from each other and simultaneously manages the supervisor’s workload. Within a circle, students review each other’s work and provide feedback to each other. The schedule for this project is like below: JBP000 Planning.png This online Canvas environment will take you along the different milestones and circle meetings through the Modules in this Canvas course. Learning goals At the end of the final Bachelor final project the student is able to: integrate and apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during the bachelor program Data Science on a research assignment develop and formulate a research question, including a well-defined description of the scope of the research question make a research plan under supervision, and can organize the activities to execute the research according to plan explore and make use of scientific literature (for this type of research question and business problem) make a justified choice for methods and techniques for data collection and data analysis work (with limited supervision) independently on a project reflect on decisions made during the execution of the research assignment present the results of the project both orally and in writing Examination Each student writes an individual thesis and is assessed individually. Students are supervised during their research by a lecturer who is actively involved in the curriculum of the Bachelor Data Science. Each thesis is also assessed by a second reader. The assessment consist of: a report; a presentation; and a reflection on the whole bachelor program. Moreover, students write a BEP project description, a plan of work, and are assessed on professional skills (writing, communication, planning and organization, information, and reflection).
