You will use SEM-PLS modeling for this project.
First, develop a minimum of three (3) hypothesis; one of them needs
to hypothesize a mediating effect.
Use SMARTPLS3 to draw your model and calculate the estimates.

either one of the practice data given in class.
Write up the report using the reporting format presented in class,
include the following:
Descriptive Statistics
Table, graph and interpretation
Correlation Analysis
