business analytics data analysis researchDo you need a small group of students to help with legal or business projects?
Students can help gather, organize, and analyze information related to your business and/or legal needs. In small groups (2-4), we can tackle a broad spectrum of legal or business projects using the advanced R statistical software environment. Data analysis has become particularly important for the legal industry, such as environmental, immigration, and corporate law, as well as criminology generally speaking. Although undergraduate students enrolled in POS401: Political Statistics prefer to work in a legal profession, we are accepting any organization that requires data analysis.
Organizations can propose specific tasks upon which students agree to work.
Learners
All work will be agreed upon between the employer and groups of students.
Multiple student groups will be working with each company. The top student project will be presented to the company contact.
In the end, students will submit and, if need be, present their final report based upon the negotiated work agreement.
