Learning Action: Exam sample for Business Intelligence

    Hi All--

    As part of a business intelligence class I recently prepared some COVID related examples that I thought I would share if anyone is interested.  In the class the final exam is an open book, open note exercise meant to reflect real-life of many analysts.  In this scenario the student has two hours to merge some data sets, clean some data, create some calculated fields and prepare relevant charts for an executive audience.  We use COVID data as a base.  Personally I have found these types of exams quite useful as they are similar to professional experience-- they also are easy to administer remotely for my distance learning classes.
