Decide on a topic that has interest for you of the ones that are covered during this course. You can look at the reading schedule at the end of the syllabus to have a better idea of the topics you will see as the course develops. Once you have picked the topic you will explore, find a case (real, from another company, one that you have worked on, or a possible scenario) where the topic you chose is of relevance and where the concepts of the topic can assist to solve or present possible solutions. If it is a case study from a real company compare the solution that you came up with with the one that management took.
