Tesla Data Science Professional Case Study: Data Management, Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Ethics
This composite case-study assessment for The Data Science Professional module requires students to critically analyse Tesla from several interconnected professional perspectives, including data management, artificial intelligence ethics, leadership, organisational development, entrepreneurship and business risk. The coursework is designed to combine technical data-science capability with strategic, ethical and managerial decision-making. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… Part A – Database Design and Distributed Frameworks focuses on data management. Students design an Entity-Relationship model and relational schema for a Tesla-related vehicle-hire business, identifying entities, relationships, cardinalities, identifiers, primary keys and foreign keys. The accompanying guidance specifies entities relating to vehicles, employees, outlets, clients, hire agreements, insurance, faults and employment records. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… 39cdc24cc46a13ddf444b8e7af838eb… The SQL component uses an Online Music database to examine Tesla customer preferences. Students create relational tables using Oracle standard SQL and write queries involving users, music, publishers, categories and download records. Evidence of implementation and query results must be provided using Oracle Live SQL. 39cdc24cc46a13ddf444b8e7af838eb… Part A also requires a critical assessment of the security, privacy and ethical implications of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology, connecting technical development with responsible data and AI practice. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… Part B – Leadership and Developing People requires critical evaluation of Tesla’s leadership model, organisational culture and their effects on employees and organisational performance. Students must propose a leadership and people-development strategy capable of supporting the organisation as it expands. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… Part C – Entrepreneurial Practice and Managing Risk examines a proposed Tesla spin-out venture developing innovative low-cost green hydrogen production systems. Students critically assess management support for the venture, propose an evidence-based approach to entrepreneurial risk, develop an entrepreneurial leadership role descriptor, and evaluate how GDPR and AI/data ethics may support or constrain entrepreneurial practice. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… Overall, the assessment integrates technical database design, SQL, data ethics, organisational leadership, entrepreneurship, sustainability and professional decision-making within a single Tesla-focused case study. Overview word count: approximately 360 words. Important: the assessment brief itself explicitly states that it must not be passed to third parties or posted on any website. So for a public Reference Library, use the metadata and your own finished work where permitted, but do not upload the assessment brief/guidance PDFs themselves publicly. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… The AI status is Amber: generative AI may be used for limited inspiring/planning purposes, but usage must be acknowledged with the tool, prompts and relevant evidence; the brief also specifically prohibits using LLMs to generate the Part A(3) essay. a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44… a82a1aa6a2e7a3268ad021c4f5b3d44…

Programming for Data Science – Individual Portfolio
This individual portfolio assessment for the Programming for Data Science module at Coventry University consists of four tasks designed to assess programming, debugging, data science, data visualisation, data protection and data ethics skills. The assessment carries 20 credits and has a total value of 4,000 words equivalent, excluding the reference list and output. Students are required to submit one clearly organised report containing all four tasks, with each task beginning on a new page. Python code, outputs and relevant plots must be included directly within the report. Task 1 focuses on analysing, critiquing and debugging Python code. Students are required to identify syntax errors, logical errors, style and readability issues in a supplied program, determine what the program is intended to calculate, and make appropriate corrections. Students must test the program using varying values, explain the changes made, and improve its overall readability and annotation so that an unfamiliar user can understand it. The task also requires students to investigate computational efficiency by measuring execution time for different input limits and identifying more efficient coding or logical approaches. Task 2 requires students to design, build and test a simple Python implementation of the Blackjack card game. The program should simulate a single-player game against a computer-controlled dealer, allow the player to choose between hitting and standing, automatically simulate the dealer's turn, and offer the option to play additional rounds. Complex rules such as splitting and betting are excluded, and students must not implement a Python class or graphical visualisation. The submission must include the Python code and the output from five games, with sufficient storytelling in the output to allow the code to be tested from the results shown. Task 3 assesses the student's ability to critically assess, select and apply data science tools. Students work with animal lifespan information from the AnAge database and use Python, including pandas and appropriate graphical libraries, to explore and communicate insights. The task involves summarising the number of animal species represented within each animal Class and producing plots of maximum longevity against adult weight for the four Classes with the most represented species. Students must discuss whether smaller or larger animals live longer, identify extreme outliers, compare trends between animal groups and consider implications for ageing research. Task 4 examines data protection and data ethics using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) as a case study. Students must explain how a potential data breach could occur, identify the personal and sensitive information that could be compromised, and discuss consequences for patient confidentiality, institutional reputation, participation in future research and possible legal or public relations responses. A second part considers a hypothetical UK database and requires discussion of GDPR and the UK Government Data Ethics Framework, including informed consent, anonymisation, transparency, ethical governance, privacy and public trust in biomedical research. The assessment assesses two module learning outcomes. MLO2 focuses on designing, building, testing, adapting and critiquing small programs in a high-level programming language and is assessed through Tasks 1 and 2. MLO3 focuses on critically assessing, selecting and applying data science tools, libraries or algorithms throughout the data science project lifecycle and is assessed through Tasks 3 and 4. The assignment requires APA referencing and asks students to provide in-text citations and reference lists where relevant. The brief also classifies the assessment as “Amber” for Generative AI: AI tools may be used for inspiration but not to generate answers or analyse datasets. Any permitted use must be clearly acknowledged, documented and cited using APA style.

Data and Decision Making (BS776) — Business Report: Two-Source Data Analysis in Python for Evidence-Based Decision-Making
This Level 7 report applies data management theory to a self-selected industry problem and carries it through to a working Python analysis and a defensible business recommendation. The brief is deliberately open on sector — finance, healthcare, transport, cyber security, business intelligence and others are all permitted — but firm on one point: the chosen topic must carry a genuine business implication rather than being a purely technical or clinical analysis. The work therefore begins by framing a specific data-driven decision the organisation needs to make, and returns to that decision at every stage. Two distinct data sources are then identified from approved open repositories and critically evaluated side by side. The evaluation covers the data types each holds, how the data was collected and what bias that introduces, how each is stored and managed, and where the weaknesses lie — proposing concrete data management solutions for the problems identified rather than simply cataloguing them. The analytical core examines, transforms and explores both datasets using univariate and multivariate techniques. All work is carried out in Python within Google Colab, with full screenshots of the code and outputs placed in the appendices and the live Colab link shared for verification. Charts and tables sit in the main body where they support interpretation, each labelled and referenced back to its data source, and each appendix is cited from the narrative so the reader can move between argument and evidence. Data cleaning and transformation steps are shown and justified, not glossed. Findings are reported at length and converted into a clear recommendation covering both the immediate decision and the current and future direction of data management for the business. The limitations section is written honestly — sample coverage, data recency, the assumptions the transformation forced, and what the proposed solution cannot address. Running alongside this, the module's weekly consolidation discussions are evidenced. Five or more critical responses across units two to nine are screenshotted, dated, individually labelled as appendices, and each supported by academic and practice references. Crucially, these are not left sitting in the appendix: they are cited and used within the main body to support the critical discussion, which is where the marks for that component sit. The report follows the prescribed structure — title page, executive summary, contents, introduction, main section with subsections per task, findings, recommendations, limitations, conclusion, Harvard reference list and full appendices — submitted as a single file.
