Topic coverage
Big Data topics we can work through with your actual brief
The page focuses on data preparation, modelling, querying, evaluation and interpretation. Each topic below should connect to a deliverable, test or explanation instead of appearing as isolated terminology.
01Big Data foundations
For Big Data foundations, first define the expected behaviour or result, then apply it to the coursework brief using Python. Capture evidence that demonstrates the result and explain how it relates to data preparation, modelling, querying, evaluation and interpretation.
02Big Data data preparation
Big Data data preparation often earns marks in more than one place: implementation, testing and explanation. Use Jupyter Notebook to make the work reproducible, then discuss the important assumptions, edge cases and limitations.
03Big Data implementation
Big Data implementation often earns marks in more than one place: implementation, testing and explanation. Use SQL to make the work reproducible, then discuss the important assumptions, edge cases and limitations.
04Big Data evaluation
Big Data evaluation often earns marks in more than one place: implementation, testing and explanation. Use Git to make the work reproducible, then discuss the important assumptions, edge cases and limitations.
05Big Data reporting and visualisation
Big Data reporting and visualisation should not appear as an isolated feature. Show how it interacts with the rest of the Big Data task, how you tested it, and what the result means for the final technical report.
