Assignment 1: Where Analytics Fits in the Organization

In this week 1 assignment you are going to do something a little different instead of submitted a written document for the assignment, you are going to create a voice recording of your answer to the week 1 assignment.

I have several tips for you as you complete this assignment that will produce the best outcome:

• Write out your answer to the proposed questions first sort of an outline.
• If you are using a Windows PC you can use the Sound Recorder application found in the Accessories folder and you may save the file as a .wma or mp3 file format.
• If you are using a Mac you can use Garage Band using the voice setting to record your reply.
• You can use any voice recording application you may have or use as long as the file you submit is in a .mp3, .wav, wma format.
• Be sure to answer the assignment by covering all the questions proposed.

Have fun with this assignment, and if you have any questions or concerns please let me know by a classroom message.
