1) the course website now includes a folder called “Accenture Challenge”, with the teaching notes related to the yesterday's lecture;

2) if interested in participating to the challenge, from the folder above please download the file called “Timing” and use the link to form a group (5 students, with a contact person). Deadline 25^th February, 4pm;

3) if interested in participating to the challenge, from the folder above please also download the file called “Power BI Installation Guide” and install Power BI on your laptop by 23th February, 2pm;

As explained yesterday, participating to the challenge can be an amazing, useful experience, but is not compulsory.

In such those cases, there will not be any need to communicate the withdrawal. At the same time, because of organizational reasons, groups formed after the deadline above will not be given the possibility to enter the challenge.
