Deliverable Details and Hints

Further details are provided below for each required deliverable.

Required deliverable: Software deliverables using Alteryx and a short written written memo

  • There will be three required Individual Software Submissions based on the 11/18 Alteryx Challenge Class. The software requirement is for three Alteryx workflows, one for each challenge, with the details for each challenge being provided in class on 11/18 by our guests from Alteryx.
  • The short memo requirement is a description of (i) each of the workflows use case, (ii) and the challenges you needed to overcome and how you solved them.

  • The Alteryx workflows in the challenge will largely use tools that you have been exposed to in prior classes, remember that if a tool is new to you, or you are unfamiliar with it, the Alteryx help for each tool will provide useful insights.
  • Think of the memo as similar to a log. As you work through the challenges, make a note on the most difficult part of the workflow and how you solved the tool. These notes should be added under a heading that describes the purpose of each challenge (i.e., what is the workflow supposed to be achieving for the user).
  • During class, work on submitting the challenges as they are presented, in the Challenge part of the class, the leaderboard will be updated for both speed and accuracy.
  • After class, finalize your memo and submit your three Alteryx workflows and memo as a zip file to canvas for grading purposes.
  • As this is an individual assignment, you should work as independently as possible and note that individual submissions are required, do not share memos as they may fail the plagiarism tests built into Canvas.

Generative AI Policy

This policy establishes the guidelines and expectations for the responsible and ethical use of generative AI, including Large Language Models (LLMs) in the graduate accounting programs. Generative AI can be a valuable tool for enhancing learning, productivity and creativity, but it must be used responsibly to maintain a productive and respectful learning environment. Generative AI should primarily be used for educational purposes, such as assisting with research, generating ideas, or editing documents. Students are responsible for the work that they submit, any errors introduced by the use of Generative AI will reduce the grades on individual or team submissions.
