Welcome to Highline College BI 348 class--
Big Data Business Analytics with Microsoft Power Tools.
Now, you already received an introductory letter.
This is the intro video.
Now, all of you here at Highline have already been in classes
where we learned the awesome power of Excel and Power BI.
So you pretty much know we have a People website and a Canvas
website, and you know how things work in this class.
This is the home page, and we'll come back in a moment
and look at the syllabus.
But this is the People website.
And just like the other classes, there'll
be a blue label that says Project 1, Project 2, and so
on.
And just like all the other classes you've been in,
it all starts with the video.
Now, there'll be some files.
You download these and use these to watch and learn
from the video, completing the project.
Then there's PDF Notes.
That's a written and pictorial summary
of everything in the video.
And then there's a homework problem.
Now, in this class, there'll be sometimes a lot of files
because this is a data analysis class.
But all of this is practice for the points projects
and quizzes that we'll look at in just a moment.
But if you watch the video, follow along, read the notes,
and do the homework problem, that practice
enables you to do well on points projects and quizzes.
So for week 1, you start at the top and work your way down.
And when you see in green, Week 1 Assignments
for Points in Class Towards Your Grade,
that's where you can download this.
It's a points project.
You download it, complete it, upload it to Canvas.
And then you take the quiz at Canvas.
Then, for week 2, it's the same.
There's week 2 assignment.
And if you go all the way down to the bottom, there it is.
The last week for this class is week 9.
So let's Control-Home.
Now let's take a brief look at the syllabus.
It's a PDF file and a table of contents at the top.
You can click on any element and jump to that section.
So schedule, when I click, there's the schedule.
Week 1.
There's the videos, the time, the name of the video.
And it reminds you, take quiz 3 and upload points project 3.
Now, wait a second.
This is week 1 and there's quiz 3?
Yeah.
In this class I started at 3 and worked forward.
So there is no quiz 1 or quiz 2.
It starts at quiz 3 and goes all the way to quiz 11
and points project 11.
Control-Home.
Now I'll let you look through this syllabus.
This is our guide for how the class works.
Right here-- here are the computer requirements
for the class.
You can look through that here.
I also sent out an email already that describes the computer
requirements.
As I scroll down to page five there's
some information about quizzes and points project.
Quizzes can be done at any time during the quarter,
but points project you have to upload it
by the date in the schedule.
If you don't do that, you lose 25%.
Here's how we're going to do the grading.
And as you scroll through, you can
read the rest of the syllabus.
Now I'm going to Control-Home or back arrow.
Let's go look at Canvas.
Home area.
Week 1, there it is.
Points project and quiz.
Week 2 all the way down to--
I don't have week nine posted yet but I will.
Announcements.
I'll make announcements here.
Discussions.
If you have a question that is not
about a points project or a quiz or a personal matter,
you can post your question here.
And then Grades, that's where you can look at your accurate
scores for each assignment.
All right.
So this is going to be an awesome quarter studying
Microsoft Power Tools, and we'll see you next video.
