Final Project Workshop

In this open workshop, teams will have their final opportunity to work on the project with guidance from the professor. The session is designed for teams to work independently on their final projects, with the professor available to assist with any challenges they encounter. This is a hands-on working session where teams can troubleshoot issues, refine their project plans, and ensure they are on track for successful completion. The focus is on integrating concepts from the entire course and solidifying the final deliverables, providing students with critical last-minute support.

Why is this important?

The Final Project Workshop is an essential opportunity for students to get help with any remaining issues before their final project is due. It allows teams to receive personalized support in real-time, addressing specific challenges they face as they work to integrate complex concepts and advanced techniques covered in the course. By offering this dedicated time for assistance, the workshop helps ensure that students can successfully apply their knowledge, troubleshoot technical issues, and finalize their projects with confidence. This session reinforces the importance of seeking feedback and refining work before submission.

Materials:

Case: Information on the Final Project.

Review and Extension:

This workshop serves as a culmination of the entire course, with particular emphasis on integrating the more advanced material covered toward the end. Teams will draw on their knowledge of ETL processes, data analytics, audit planning, and the tools used throughout ACCTG 522, along with earlier foundational concepts from ACCTG 522. The goal of the workshop is to ensure that teams have fully synthesized these concepts into their final project, applying both their technical and analytical skills in a comprehensive and cohesive manner.

Preparation:

1. Teams should be nearly completed with their project. At this point the final stages of the Alteryx workflows, troubleshooting, and any modifications being made to the workflow should be in process or finalized.

Class Plan:

Teams: during this class, please sit in your assessment teams.

1. This is the second of three Final Project Workshop Classes, teams should use this time to work independently on finalizing their projects.
2. The goal for this class is to be working mostly on the presentation elements of the final project.
3. Teams can work either in the classroom, in a breakout room, or off-campus. Please check in with me if your team will be working outside of the classroom.
