Learning and teaching strategies

Assessment Strategies

  1. Identify basic applications,   concepts, and techniques of data mining.
  2.  Create association rules and develop tree/graph in market basket dataset using Apriori and FP tree algorithms
  3.  Analyze large datasets to gain business understanding and apply classification, prediction and clustering algorithms.
  4. Evaluate classification/prediction models using metrics like accuracy, ROC, RMSE, confusion matrix etc.
  5. Create quantitative analysis reports and perform comparative analysis of algorithms for decision making
  6. Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction

Approach in teaching:

Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Demonstrations, Group activities, Teaching using advanced IT audio-video tools. 

Learning activities for the students:

Self-learning assignments, Effective questions, Seminar presentation, Giving tasks.

Two Internal Tests, Quiz, Home Assignments, Presentations.
