Course Workload Expectations
Success in this course is based on the expectation that students will spend, for each unit of credit, a minimum of forty-five hours over the length of the course (normally 3 hours per unit per week with 1 of the hours used for lecture) for instruction or preparation/studying or course related activities including but not limited to internships, labs, clinical practica. Other course structures will have equivalent workload expectations as described in the syllabus.
Instructional time may include but is not limited to:
Working on posted modules or lessons prepared by the instructor; discussion forum interactions with the instructor and/or other students; making presentations and getting feedback from the instructor; attending office hours or other synchronous sessions with the instructor.
Student time outside of class:
In any seven-day period, a student is expected to be academically engaged through submitting an academic assignment; taking an exam or an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction; building websites, blogs, databases, social media presentations; attending a study group;contributing to an academic online discussion; writing papers; reading articles; conducting research; engaging in small group work.
Course Prerequisites
ISDA 111.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Describe and explain the main technologies and trends in big data work, specifically data visualization, large-scale database management, map-reduce paradigm, big data mining, and big data platforms.
- Demonstrate proficiency in using Splunk/Scala/Hadoop to solve big data analytical problems.
- Interpret and communicate big data analysis and visualization results appropriately, effectively and accurately.
- Discuss, articulate and compare various big data managerial issues (e.g., data governance and privacy) in different organizational settings.
- Make informed and strategic decisions with the presence of large-scale data sets.
- Information Science and Data Analytics SLO 2: Identify and apply appropriate data management strategies, carry out relevant analyses, interpret and apply the results to inform understanding and solve specific problems in context; and communicate analysis and visualization results appropriately to a diverse non-technical audience.
- Information Science and Data Analytics SLO 3: Demonstrate proficiency in the computing skills needed to support information and data analysis, including prototype building and scripting for working with structured data (data that is clearly defined and easily searchable) and unstructured data (data that is not easily searchable such as email, audio, video, and social media postings).
SLOs & PLOs
ISDA 140 supports:
- SLO 2 and SLO 3 supports the following Information and Data Science Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs):
- PLO 1: Apply information and data science concepts and methods by thinking critically and creatively to conceptualize and solve real world problems.
- PLO 2: Demonstrate an understanding of the data lifecycle, including data curation and stewardship. distributed computing, and the data pipeline eco system.

Grading Scale
The standard SJSU School of Information Grading Scale is utilized for all iSchool courses:
| 97 to 100 | A |
| 94 to 96 | A minus |
| 91 to 93 | B plus |
| 88 to 90 | B |
| 85 to 87 | B minus |
| 82 to 84 | C plus |
| 79 to 81 | C |
| 76 to 78 | C minus |
| 73 to 75 | D plus |
| 70 to 72 | D |
| 67 to 69 | D minus |
| Below 67 | F |
In order to provide consistent guidelines for assessment for graduate level work in the School, these terms are applied to letter grades:
- C represents Adequate work; a grade of "C" counts for credit for the course;
- B represents Good work; a grade of "B" clearly meets the standards for graduate level work or undergraduate (for BS-ISDA);
For core courses in the MLIS program (not MARA, Informatics, BS-ISDA) — INFO 200, INFO 202, INFO 204 — the iSchool requires that students earn a B in the course. If the grade is less than B (B- or lower) after the first attempt you will be placed on administrative probation. You must repeat the class if you wish to stay in the program. If - on the second attempt - you do not pass the class with a grade of B or better (not B- but B) you will be disqualified. - A represents Exceptional work; a grade of "A" will be assigned for outstanding work only.
Graduate Students are advised that it is their responsibility to maintain a 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA). Undergraduates must maintain a 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA).
