Computing Foundation Year: Big Data & IT Impact Research Portfolio

This portfolio submission for a Computing Foundation Year course showcases research skills through completed tasks, feedback responses, and a mini-research proposal focused on the impact of Big Data and Information Technology on society. The portfolio includes evidence of four completed tasks, with screenshots of Turnitin submissions and reflections on feedback received. The student addresses shortcomings in citation and time management, demonstrating improved attention to detail and commitment to study. The mini-research proposal outlines the problem of managing and utilizing big data in organizations, the aim to analyze its impact within the UK industry, and a proposed methodology using secondary data sources. The reference list includes relevant academic sources supporting the research.

• Task 2: Screenshot each Turnitin submission

Responding to my Feedback
[100 words]
The omission in task 1 was the lack of citation. Citation is an important part of any academic text and should
not be omitted. My tutor`s constructive remark made me pay more attention.
In task 2 I have put citation but I have also left out 1. I need to pay more attention and put the citation
immediately and not after I have finished the work.
Task 3 was an absolute failure. I was pressed by other problems and put the task back. I am making changes in
my daily life that will help me spend more time for studying.
When I submitted task 4 I made a mistake and submitted task that is not related to this module. I emphasize
better time management in order not to make such mistakes.

My Mini Research Proposal
Chosen research topic and why
• The chosen research topic is impact of
Big Data and Information Technology in
society. The selection of this topic is done
to enhance the knowledge about big data
and information technology which can be
used in future organisation.
The impact (or role) of Big Data and Information Technology in society

My Mini Research Proposal
Background to the problem – what did your find out from reading/academic
sources?
The big data in organisation is considered
as complex problem as to store the huge
sets of data and information of organisation
requires proper knowledge. The increase of
data sets exponentially with time becoming
challenging to handle. (Ali, and et.al., 2021)

In the workplace, for several organisation big data is important which help in
storing large amount of data sets and provides improved customer service. The
company is requited to spend extra amount in the recruitment of skilled
professionals.
My Mini Research Proposal
Summary of the problem you are attempted to research and uncover

My Mini Research Proposal
Aim(s) of the research – what do you hope to achieve and find?
The aim of this research is to analyses the impact and role of big data
and information technology in the society within UK industry. The
company will be able to offer improved customer service that helps in
increasing profit through help of big data (Frizzo-Barker, and et.al.,
2020).

• This process is very helpful for the organisation as well as investigator
to achieve the goals and objectives of the investigation in an
appropriate manner and collect the data for the interpret the data..
There are different kind of philosophy and approaches which are not
up by the investigator so that they can evaluate that effective data and
information in an appropriate manner.
My Mini Research Proposal
Proposed Methodology

My Mini Research Proposal
How will your collected data inform your research and
help to solve the problem identified in your aim?
The secondary source of data is been used for collecting the data which helps in
gathering several information about big data and informational technology. This
will help the organisation in storing, processing the Information. The problem
can be solved through having data integration.
