    This assessment involves writing a report that summarises a data science related investigation that you have
    conducted on data that you have collected yourself. The investigation must involve the main topics covered in the
    subject, most noticeably data pre-processing (representation, wrangling, tidying) and exploratory data
    visualisation using R/RStudio.
    It is a merger of all your learnings in this semester. These include all aspects of visualization, data processing
    and wrangling. However the pre-processing/exploratory steps to be carried out will not be specified, you have to
    make independent choices and decisions.
    We have provided you with 4 datasets each with their readme files. The data and the descriptor files are stored in
    the Capstone Data subfolder within the Assessment folder, in LearnJCU. You may also find your own data using
    good practices. This could include data from the UC Irvine machine learning repository. Your dataset cannot be
    smaller than 1000 observations of 5 variables, except if the targeted data science problem to be addressed relates
    to spatial-temporal data, case in which less than 5 dimensions could be allowed.

    Suppose you are asked to show that Tree 1b (but not Tree 1a or 1c) is the correct representation of
    the underlined string. What is/are the critical string(s) of words that you want to apply constituency
    tests to in order to differentiate Tree 1b from Tree 1a and 1c? Briefly explain why the node(s) is/are
    critical to the analysis. (10%)
    b. Apply three constituency tests to each of the node(s) you suggest to test in Part (a). Just write down
    the test sentences. You do not need to provide the grammaticality judgment. (10%)
    Q2. What is a syntactic head? Discuss properties of a syntactic head using the category of prepositions
    as an example. [No more than 160 words] (16%)
    Q3. Why is subject-auxiliary inversion in wh-questions considered to be a case of movement?
    Illustrate your answer with examples. You may include a tree diagram, if it helps. However, tree
    drawing is not a must. [No more than 160 words] (16%)

  • Select and analyse three relevant scholarly research articles from a journal published from…

    Length: 4000 words
    Weighting: 40%
    Description of assessment task
    Students provide a case study research design that responds to the media-related industry context described in the accompanying research brief. Students will initially provide an analysis of three original studies, presenting methods examples that they will draw on in their case study design. Students will then present a research proposal using a case study methodology that responds to the industry-related media context presented in the research brief
    Part A: Literature review
    (1,500 words)
    Select and analyse three relevant scholarly research articles from a journal published from 2012 onwards that propose a methodology relevant to the industry-related media context described in the research brief. Provide a short summary of these three studies and their findings and conclusions, as a collective, somewhat similar to a short literature review. In your analysis, indicate what aspect of each study will contribute to the case study design you propose. Indicate your sources of reference within the body of this summary according to the Harvard system of referencing (Author, year). List the three readings in alphabetical order by first author’s last name in the reference list for the essay at the end. Indicate these three articles in the reference list using asterisks (*).
    Part B: Research proposal
    (2,500 words)
    Propose a case study research design that responds to the media-related industry context presented in the research brief. To do this you will initially need to identify the aspects of the industry-related media context presented in the research brief that you will respond to. You will then need to generate an appropriate research question and highlight the conceptual construct or theoretical frame you will use to guide your case study approach. In your research proposal you will need to include what methods you will draw upon and provide a description of the data collection approach and instruments you would use. Through a discussion of sampling strategies and consideration of the selection of your research participants or data sources, you will need to demonstrate a cultural sensitivity. You will also need to consider the ethical implications and possible limitations of the methodology you are proposing. You will also need to clearly state how the methodology you propose will achieve the project outcomes.
    Please note that this assessment task only requires you to plan-out the design stage (not conduct the data collection and reporting) so you are not actually doing this research. Here you are
    practicing your research design skills
    in preparation fort ACX703. Your research proposal is forpractice purposes only and you will not be doing this research in your masters’ research units later in your course of study.

    For this assignment, you’ll be writing about a different dialect of your field language. In a
    paragraph or two:
    • Remind the reader of the name and location of your field language.
    • Give a sentence or two explaining what you’re doing for this assignment – you’re
    introducing a separate group of people who speak a slightly different dialect from the one
    you’ve spent most of your time documenting. Provide a brief definition of the term
    dialect and discuss what it means for two dialects to be mutually intelligible. For this
    paper, you’ll be explaining some of the phonological differences between your dialects
    (i.e. they pronounce things differently), and some of the lexical differences between your
    dialects (i.e. they use different words for things), so be sure your intro section also
    explains what it means for dialects to differ from one another in these ways.

    2. Briefly outline the situation, then identify and define the ethical issue. Outline the reasons you believe this is an ethical issue. • Information re company/organisation. Factors leading up to or contributing to the issue, and the ethical issue itself • Need to develop an argument for your position. Evidence from the case study, reasoning from topics covered so far. This is about building a strong, supported position. 3. State your ethical belief/position on this ethical issue. • This will come in part from your earlier reasoning, but also somewhat from our own values and experiences. • Be objective if possible, and consider counterarguments to your reasoning – you can always then rebut the counterargument. 4. Present an argument for your belief/position using the arguments for the broad or narrow view definition of CSR and supporting arguments/counterarguments. • In this section you need to demonstrate knowledge of the broad and narrow view (definition, arguments), and connect this to your ethical issue/case study. 5. Evaluate your position using either Kant or ethics of care (JEERS). • Outline your theory – key ideas/assumptions, how does the theory decide whether an action is ethical or not? • Apply the theory – use the right format for each – this matters.
