Outline

Essentials of Big Data analytics. Topics include: challenges and opportunities posed by Big Data in a variety of domains, predictive analytics or other advanced methods to extract value from data, innovative statistical techniques to glean insights from data, frameworks for parallelizing data pre-processing and data analytics, such as,  Hadoop and Spark, and distributed algorithms to accelerate knowledge discovery.

Policies on Cheating

Cheating: It should be strictly noted that any sort of cheating will NOT be tolerated. All work you submitted must be entirely your own. If any student is found cheating in an assignment (either programming or non-programming), he/she will be given a 0 for that assignment. This includes both the person showing their work and the person involved in copying. If any student is found cheating in a test, he/she will be given either a grade of 'C' or 'F' or in some cases will also be brought to the attention of Dean (Again includes both the person showing their work and the person involved in copying).
