Practicals

15 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential to develop proficiency in data extraction, validation, analysis, and reporting. Learners will work with real-world gaming data sets to apply concepts covered in lectures, culminating in a comprehensive analysis project.

Practical Activities
  • Data Collection and Validation Exercise — Learners extract data from simulated gaming systems and perform validation checks to ensure data quality. (3h)
  • Performance Metrics Calculation — Using cleaned data, learners calculate key performance indicators and interpret results for machine and table games. (4h)
  • Report and Dashboard Creation — Learners design a daily gaming floor report and an interactive dashboard using Excel or BI tools. (4h)
  • Comprehensive Analysis Project — Teams analyze a full gaming floor data set and present a strategic recommendation to stakeholders. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 50%
