Here is a simplified version of the instructions for assignment one. I do not know if the links will work, given that they are under my account. If they do not, simply log in to Terradata with your information and use the search engine to find the correct pages. Let me know if you have any questions.
1. Go to teradatauniversitynetwork.com. Using the site password your instructor provides, register for the site if you have not already previously registered. Log on and learn the content of the site. You will receive assignments related to this site. Prepare a list of 20 items on the site that you think could be beneficial to you.
2. Go to the TUN site. Explore the Sports Analytics page and summarize at least two applications of analytics in any sport of your choice.
