Your submission will be evaluated on the organization of the memo, economy of words, informativeness of the content, and application of techniques taught in class. More specific assessment criteria is listed in the rubric below. ( I have already attached the lecture slides related to this assignment, in the slides, you can see more detailed requirement for this memo and the related knowledge and structure of this kind of analytics writing.)
