Business Intelligence encompasses the technologies, processes, and tools that organizations use to collect, analyze, and visualize data in order to support better decision-making. It involves transforming raw data into actionable insights through reporting, dashboards, and data analytics. Business Intelligence plays a critical role in identifying trends, monitoring performance, and guiding strategic planning across industries.
In this course, students will explore the foundational concepts and techniques of Business Intelligence. They will learn how to store unstructured and structured data, convert them into meaningful reports and business insights. As part of the course, students will design and develop a Business Intelligence application that demonstrates their ability to apply these principles in a practical context.

Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | In the second examination opportunity, a project has a weight of 50% in
the total score. If the score of the project from the first examination
opportunity was retained, this score (based on the written evaluation
during the teaching period and the oral evaluation during the teaching
period) is carried over and no new project is required. If the score of
the project from the first examination opportunity was not retained, a
new project is defined. A written examination (closed book) has a weight
of 50% in the total score of the second examination opportunity. |
