Deliverable:

You must submit a recommendation report the revised recommendation report is optional. The only higher of the two grades will be kept. If you are happy with your report score there is no need to submit a revised version. Please also include the URL of your Collab link at the end of your report. Your code won't be graded, but it should show evidence where your analysis and recommendations are from.

Guidance:

Do:

Read the provided rubric, below, carefully. It will be used to grade both your report and your revised version. You can click on each criteria (in the left most column of the rubric) to see the expectations for each. 

Drill down in the data to investigate different angles and consider alternate explanations. If you discover a certain region has the highest art sales, that’s great! Now try to learn more about those sales. What customer type buys the most art supplies? Is there a seasonal effect on art supply sales? Is there a region where art supplies sell best? Use data insights to develop a compelling "story." 

Consider the flow of your writing…are you leading your reader to your conclusion (your recommendation).

Pay attention to the quality of your writing. It should be professional, concise (pretend you have to pay for every word!), and grammatically correct with no spelling errors. Font and format matter too. 

Proof read carefully. Swap reports with a teammate and proof / grade each other's reports. 

Read the examples provided.

Do NOT:

Include data insights that do not directly support your recommendation. 

Reference your coded project in your report. Natasha won't see it. 

Submit your group recommendation report to its submission folder on Canvas as either a PDF or Word Docx. Even though this is a group project, please submit individually and put your name under the recommendation that is primarily provided by you
