Problem Statement for 7COM1079 Team Research & Development Project Assignment

The major aims of this module are twofold:

1. to learn techniques for working in a team to produce some tangible outcome
2. to learn techniques for investigating computer science problems.

Toward that end, you will work in groups of five (5) to pose and answer a research question, using a dataset of your choosing selected from a specified set of candidates. You will be required to use specific tools to achieve this:

• Git, a source code control tool.
• SPSS or R, tools for statistical analysis.
• Markdown, a mechanism for writing structured documents in plain text.

In addition, you will complete an examination testing your knowledge of the back-ground reading, and you will evaluate your group members’ contribution to the final deliverable.
