Lab Test (30%)

Lab test will be used to assess students understanding and skills in using data mining tools to analyse and process data. Lab test will cover all the topics.

Assignment (70%)

Students would work on practical assignment to demonstrate their understanding of data mining applications and techniques. For assignment, students are required to
submit a written report. Assignment will cover all the topics.

Penalties for late submissions

late and < 1 day: 10% deduction from absolute mark given for the assignment e.g 75 marks (100 marks max) becomes 65 marks (deduct 10% of 100 marks)

Follow-up in the event of emergencies leading to closure of the Polytechnic

In the event of the temporary closure of the Polytechnic due to unforeseen circumstances such as severe haze, a pandemic, or other emergencies, students should log
in to OLIVE for instructions on the completion of independent learning activities until the resumption of on-site classes at the Polytechnic. IIT has in place a
comprehensive set of eLearning materials to replace face-to-face lessons and these would be made available to students via OLIVE when classes cannot be conducted
on campus.
