1. Evaluate the data mining process as it applies to the mining of data, data patterns, and quality of data.
2. Examine issues (such as ethical and legal usage) associated with mining of data.
3. Assess the values of pattern recognition, data visualization, and high-performance computing in applications associated with data mining.
4. Develop exploratory criteria for data analysis when using visualization tools.
5. Design visual presentations to effectively communicate data outcomes using data visualization tools.

OTHER MATERIALS:
Attendance/Participation: All students are expected to log in to their courses regularly throughout the week to receive instruction, materials, and updates from the instructor. It is your responsibility to check in and submit your assignments, complete your discussion board postings, and finish quizzes and exams by the due dates. If you do not participate in the course, you will be counted absent. Simply logging in is not enough; you must submit/complete an assignment, post to a discussion board, or other similar assignment tasks to avoid being counted absent. Instructors are required to submit attendance the Monday following each week of class. This attendance is reported to the Financial Aid Department and may result in the loss of any financial aid refund you are expecting if you have not been participating in your courses. In addition, you will be administratively dropped from the course if you are reported absent a total of three weeks.
Preparation and participation are expected and are essential to a healthy learning environment. Reading assignments should be done prior to participating in the assignments and discussions. Discussions, reports, papers, and all other activities provide opportunities for you to apply course content to authentic situations, thus deepening the level at which you can understand and use what you are learning. Therefore, to succeed in this course, you should plan to participate to the best of your ability. Online learning requires a significant amount of self-discipline and sometimes creative scheduling. All students are expected to participate actively, showing evidence of logging into the course at least twice each week and actively engaging.

Other Policies:
Academic Misconduct:
The University prohibits all forms of academic misconduct. Academic misconduct refers to dishonesty in examinations (cheating), presenting the ideas or the writing of someone else as one’s own (plagiarism) or knowingly furnishing false information to the University by forgery, alteration, or misuse of university documents, records, or identification. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following examples: permitting another student to plagiarize or cheat from one’s own work, submitting an academic exercise (written work, printing, design, computer program) that has been prepared totally or in part by another, acquiring improper knowledge of the contents of an exam, using unauthorized material during an exam, submitting the same paper in two different courses without knowledge and consent of professors, or submitting a forged grade change slip or computer tampering. The faculty member has the authority to grant a failing grade in cases of academic misconduct as well as referring the case to Student Life.
Plagiarism:
You are expected to submit your own work and to identify any portion of work that has been borrowed from others in any form. An ignorant act of plagiarism on final versions and minor projects, such as attributing or citing inadequately, will be considered a failure to master an essential course skill and will result in an F for that assignment. A deliberate act of plagiarism, such as having someone else do your work, or submitting someone else’s work as your own (e.g., from the Internet, fraternity file, etc., including homework and in-class exercises), will at least result in an F for that assignment and could result in an F for the course.
Electronic Devices:
Use of electronic devices including smart watches and cell phones is prohibited during exams or quizzes unless directly allowed by the instructor.
Statement on Learning:
Learning is a shared responsibility. As the instructor and as a student in this class, it is our shared responsibility to develop and maintain a positive learning environment for everyone. The instructor takes this responsibility very seriously and will inform members of the class if their behavior makes it difficult for him/her to carry out this task.
Students are asked to respect the learning needs of their classmates and assist the instructor in achieving this critical goal. It is the instructor’s responsibility to present learning opportunities through the course syllabus, lectures, discussions, activities, in-class, and out-of-class assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to do the learning by completing the readings, by attending class and by participating in class discussions and assignments. A variety of assignments will be used to determine how successful a student is at achieving the course learning outcomes (mastery of course content and skills) outlined in the syllabus. If a student has trouble mastering the material and skills, he/she is encouraged to reflect on the strategies being used to study and prepare for each class. The instructor welcomes a dialogue on learning strategies and may be able to assist in finding resources on campus that will help improve student performance.
