Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Keynote speech will be given in which the teacher will explain, with the help of appropriate audiovisual media, the main contents of the subject.
Problem solving Seminars consisting of problem solving will be held in small groups, in order to set the concepts shown in the lectures and provide information about the methodologies for the practical resolution of problems through statistics.
ICT practicals In the practical classes the student will be introduced to the handling of the statistical software R. Computational tools for the resolution of problems will be shown and applied through the statistical analysis of data, either from simulated or real data.
Multiple-choice questions At the end of the course, there will be a test of 15 to 20 questions, both practical and theoretical.
Supervised projects Students will be proposed to develop a group work (2 to 4 people) consisting of the application of statistical and computational tools shown in class to a particular case study, described by real or simulated data. You can also perform a work consisting of the description of a case study in the industry and the management, in which the resolution of a real problem is carried out based on the application of statistical techniques. Another alternative will be the use of statistical tools and data analysis, its usefulness and its application in industry and business management, in particular, those related to the fashion sector.
Events academic / information Presentations, lectures, small courses or seminars from professionals in the fashion sector and/or data analysis will be presented to complement the teaching and providing a global perspective on the importance and usefulness of data analysis in this industry.

Guest lecture / keynote speech
Description
There will be keynote lectures in which the teacher will explain, with the help of appropriate audiovisual media, the main contents of the subject, promoting the debate in class. In the particular case of students with academic dispensation, you can perform face-to-face and virtual tutorials (email, video conference), which allow the student to satisfactorily follow the subject.

Assessment comments

Evaluation at the first opportunity

The multiple-choice test score will be weighted with the grade corresponding to the delivery of practical work related to the practices carried out with the statistical software R, with assistance to practical classes (ICT practices and exercises) and systematic observation of the performance of the student and with the delivery of supervised works.

Second chance evaluation

The evaluation will be done following the same procedure as in the first opportunity.

In the case of students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption of attendance that decides not to attend classes, thet will be evaluated in the two opportunities as the rest of the students who are in a similar situation.
