Thecourse then gets into the standard course topics of association rules, linear regression, clusteringand graphs and then looks at how data mining is used on the web, in the field of medicine, andsocial network sites. The course ends with a discussion of data mining ethics, past data miningblunders, how to plan successful data mining projects, and students’ projects presentations.Applied Data MiningApplied data mining combines theory with hands-on application.

Models ofmeaningful classroom projects that integrate instruction in thinking skills alongwith tools and strategies for developing one’s own exemplary technology-supported learning are always encouraged. They focus on three areas:1. It is important to learn how project-based units can effectively engage students in meaningful work and promote higher-order thinking.2.

New functions are desired but are either notcompatible or are too cumbersome to implement under the existing architecture. Based on this, anew system is currently being developed to allow for greater flexibility, easier expandability, andexpanded functionality.

In an effort to shift the focus from the traditional teaching/lecture style to a student-centered learning style, a number of academic institutions in the US have moved to an outcome-based education framework. Outcome-based education is a method of teaching that focuses onwhat students can actually do after they are taught. All curriculum and teaching decisions aremade based on how best to facilitate the desired outcome. This leads to a planning process that isdifferent from the traditional educational planning. The desired outcome is first identified and thecurriculum is created to support the intended outcome2.Zayed University (ZU
