DAT 520 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You must complete a decision analysis research project as your final project for this course. Your research project will focus on a real-world topic of your choice,
as approved by your instructor. You will pick a topic from the list provided or with approval from your instructor, and create a data analysis plan and decision
tree model based on a real-world scenario. This assessment will provide you with the opportunity to employ highly valued decision support skills and concepts
for data within a real-world context. You can use the Final Project Notes document, found in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Five, and Seven. The final submission will occur in Module Nine.
This project will address the following course outcomes:
Appraise data in context according to industry-standard methods and techniques for its utility in supporting decision making
Determine suitable data manipulation and modeling methods for decision support
Articulate data frameworks for organizational decision support by applying data manipulation, modeling, and management concepts
Evaluate the ethical issues surrounding organizational use of decision-oriented data based on industry standards and one’s personal ethical criteria
Create and assess the agility of solutions through application of data-mining procedures for decision support in various industries
Prompt
Your decision analysis model and report should answer the following prompt: How does your model and evaluation resolve uncertainty in making a decision? In
order to produce your analytic report, you will need to choose and investigate a data set using the decision analysis techniques you learned in class. Then you
will formulate a research question, write an analytic plan, and implement it. Your report should not solely consist of descriptions of what you did. It should also
contain detailed explorations into the meaning behind your model and the implications of its results. You will also be testing your model’s fitness and evaluating
its strengths and weaknesses.
The project in a nutshell:
1. Choose a data set (get ideas from the source list in the spreadsheet Final Project Topics and Sources.xls)
2. Formulate your decision analysis research question
3. Write an analytic plan
4. Perform the top-down or bottom-up modeling
5. Perform model diagnostics
6. Evaluate
These activities are broken up into milestones so that the work is spread throughout the term and you can get early assistance with any obstacles.
A decision analysis report is similar to any other analytic report. These reports introduce a problem, state a line of inquiry, explain a model th.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

Lesson What you did: Tools Used:
1 Used a steel rule to accurately mark out my piece of Pine into set pieces.
2 I used the Try square to get all my markingsat 90 degrees.
I left gaps so I had space to cut with the Tenon saw.
3 Using the Try square and metal rule to mark out the points where the forstner bit will be drilling the holes.
4 I then used the Belt sander to get my four pieces of pine square.
I made sure that I had tied back my hair and had used safety goggles.
5 I then took my piece to the pillar drill, to drill the 90̊ angle holes in the work
6 Using round files and glass paper to ensure that there are no sharp edges.
7 I set up the jig to ensure that the drill can drill a 45 ̊ angle
8 Had a hole punched in the lid with a hole punch
