Ongoing monitoring of attendance and ongoing assessment of knowledge acquisition by checking lists of solved problems and the learning level shown during the seminars.
Requirements to pass the subject are: (i) passing the official exam and (ii) performing one or two practical works where the studied statistical techniques will be used to deal with specific practical problems. Scores attained with these works are saved and valid throughout the course. These requirements hold for both opportunities (May and July). Whether the practical works are not carried out in May, they must be performed in July. This also applies to the part-time students.
The official exams in May and July consist of two complementary tests of knowledge assessment. One of them is of practical nature, takes place in the computer lab and consists in solving a set of exercises with help of statistical software. The other one, of theoretical nature, requires to properly answer a list of short and conceptual questions.
To pass the official exam in May or July is required to pass the two aforementioned tests. If both tests are passed, then the final score could be increased up to 1 point (considering a total maximum score of 10 points) according to the results of the ongoing assessment for the student.
If the practical works are not presented in due course and the official exams are not carried out, then the specific mark "NON PRESENTADO" will be given.
All previous observations are applicable to part-time students.
