Learning objectives

The objective of the course is to show the importance of Data Visualization in Business Intelligence and at the same time to use the software Microsoft Power BI for the creation of interactive dashboards. We will distinguish between infographic and data visualization, and Business Intelligence will be introduced. The skills acquired will be useful both at an academic level (project work, thesis, etc.) and at a working level.

Program

In recent years, Data Presentation has established itself as one of the most requested skill on LinkedIn. At the same time, Tableau and Power BI have established themselves as the reference software for data visualization in the modern data science. In addition to providing an intuitive environment for managing, manipulating and displaying significant amounts of data, these software also provide an easy interface with R, Python and MATLAB, useful for more complex analyzes. The program of the course includes some lessons on Data Visualization and on the software Microsoft Power BI:
- Databases and data types;
- Selection and analysis of data with the software Excel;
- Managing and structuring data for Power BI;
- Introduction to Data Visualization;
- Power BI capabilities and models of data visualization;
- Implementation of a data visualization model with a dashboard.

Learning assessment procedures

Si ricorda che i laureandi di aprile 2024 non possono partecipare e richiedere l'accreditamento di cfu per la presente attività, in quanto si tratta di un'erogazione 2023/2024, mentre la sessione di laurea di aprile 2024 si riferisce all'a.a. 2022/2023.
Gli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'a.a. 2023/2024 sono tenuti a inserire l'attività a libretto.

Si ricorda inoltre che non si può mai sostenere la stessa attività didattica più di una volta, anche se in carriere diverse (CdL e CdLM). Nello specifico, se si sono già acquisiti i cfu relativi ad uno specifico laboratorio informatico durante la triennale, non si possono riacquisire di nuovo alla magistrale. Si possono invece trasferire nella carriera della magistrale i cfu di uno specifico laboratorio acquisiti in sovrannumero (oltre i 180 cfu) alla triennale. In caso di necessità, la segreteria potrà intervenire, anche a posteriori o post-laurea. La responsabilità e le conseguenze rimangono comunque a carico dello studente.

The final examination, which will very likely take place online through a Zoom meeting, will consist in a written exam, followed by an oral examination, if necessary, on the use of the software Power BI. There will be just one date for the final examination.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
