Students will finish the class period with a maximum of 40% of the grade, achieved with the two written tests (10% each) and the two or three tests evaluating the laboratory practices (20%).

On the date set by the Faculty in its annual program, students will perform, in writing, the final exam of the subject (60%), where they will have to answer theoretical questions, solve theoretical and practical issues, and calculate the solution of several problems. For this test, students will only bring the material expressly authorized (e.g. pen or calculator).

The grade obtained in the final exam (60%) will be re-scaled so that students will have the opportunity to retrieve the 20% of the mark corresponding to the written controls (the 20% of the laboratory practice assessment mark cannot be retrieved). Thus, depending on the score obtained by the student in the two written controls, the highest score of the final exam will be between 6 and 8 points (out of 10).

Thus, denoting by P the laboratory practice grade (between 0 and 2 points), denoting by C the written controls (Chapters 1 and 2) final grade (between 0 and 2 points) and denoting by F the final exam grade (between 0 and 10 points), the course final grade will be P+C+0'1*(8-C)*F.

The day of the final exam, part-time students, who have not been previously evaluated for the laboratory practice part, will be able to perform a specific test to retrieve the 20% of the mark corresponding to that part.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Students will receive lectures where the professor, with the help of relevant audiovisual media, will present the theoretical and practical contents of the subject. Participation and debate will be encouraged at all times.
Laboratory practice	Laboratory practices will be held in a computer lab. It will be learned how to use the free statistical software R, and its programming structures. Statistical studies using both real and simulated data will be performed.
Seminar	Seminars will reinforce both the applied nature of the subject and its interactivity. Students will be able to express their doubts and concerns regarding the subject, and they will have the opportunity to perform, with the professor supervision, similar questions to those proposed in the exams. Additionally, with a very individualized attention, they will be able to complete the lab practices.
Mixed objective/subjective test	Students will have to show proficiency in the theoretical aspects of the subject and their ability to solve problems in the field of probability and statistics.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practice	A1 B3 C2	Students will develop lab practice exercises specifically designed to assess their monitoring of the subject. The correct completion of these exercises will be supervised by the professor in the classroom. To evaluate the degree of understanding and learning of these practices, 2 or 3 assessment tests will be scheduled. They will be performed during the laboratory classes having a 20% of the final grade. For enrolled full-time students, the practice mark is not retrievable by performing another test. Enrolled part-time students, who have not been evaluated of laboratory practices, may perform a specific test to retrieve the 20% of the mark corresponding to that part.	20
Seminar	A1 B3 C2	During the course, students will prove their interest in the subject and his mastery of it by performing two written tests (controls), each with a maximum mark of 10%. These two tests will correspond to Chapters 1 and 2 of the course. Students who do not obtain the maximum of 20% of the mark corresponding to this part will be able to retrieve the remaining part when taking the final exam of the subject.	20
Mixed objective/subjective test	A1 B3 C2	The final exam, with a value between 60% and 80% (depending on Chapters 1 and 2 written control grades), will consist of a theoretical and a practical written test.	60
