Assessment Task
You are tasked with writing a brief report based on a big dataset.
The dataset is composed of two Microsoft Excel files: one is a current fleet listing, and the other is a fleet listing for the same vessel type, taken a year ago.
You are meant to identify the important fleet developments that occurred in the period between the two listings. Organizing and re-structuring the data using techniques covered during the seminars will be essential. Furthermore, since the report’s wordcount is limited you will have to make good use of charts and tables to summarize information and present your findings.
You should present your findings neatly and clearly, in a logical, well-structured manner, employing headings and sub-headings. You may use outside sources of information in your report but only to support your interpretation of the data and to help frame your discussion of the results.
Assessment Criteria & Weighting:
Learning Outcomes
This assessment will enable students to demonstrate in full or in part the learning outcomes identified in the module descriptor.
Late Submissions
Students are reminded that:

Extenuating Circumstances
The University’s Extenuating Circumstances procedure is in place if there are genuine circumstances that may prevent a student submitting an assessment. If students are not 'fit to study’, they can either request an extension to the submission deadline of 5 working days or they can request to submit the assessment at the next opportunity (Defer). In both instances students must submit an EC application with relevant evidence. If accepted by the EC Panel there will be no academic penalty for late submission or non-submission dependent on what is requested. Students are reminded that EC covers only short term issues (20 working days) and that if they experience longer term matters that impact on learning then they must contact the Student Hub for advice.
A summary of guidance notes for students is given below:
http://portal.solent.ac.uk/documents/academic-services/academichandbook/section-2/2p-extenuating-circumstances.pdf?t=1534423896787
Academic Misconduct
Any submission must be students’ own work and, where facts or ideas have been used from other sources, these sources must be appropriately referenced. The University’s Academic Handbook includes the definitions of all practices that will be deemed to constitute academic misconduct. Students should check this link before submitting their work.
Procedures relating to student academic misconduct are given below:
http://portal.solent.ac.uk/support/official-documents/information-forstudents/complaints-conduct/student-academic-misconduct.aspx Ethics Policy
The work being carried out by students must be in compliance with the Ethics Policy. Where there is an ethical issue, as specified within the Ethics Policy, then students will need an ethics release or an ethical approval prior to the start of the project.
The Ethics Policy is contained within Section 2S of the Academic Handbook:
http://portal.solent.ac.uk/documents/academic-services/academichandbook/section-2/2s-university-ethics-policy.pdf
Grade marking
The University uses a letter grade scale for the marking of assessments. Unless students have been specifically informed otherwise their marked assignment will be awarded a letter grade. More detailed information on grade marking and the grade scale can be found on the portal and in the Student Handbook.
