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 (January and July). Whether the practical works are not carried out in January, they must be performed in July. This also applies to the part-time students.
The official exams of both opportunities (January and July) consist in answering a list of short and conceptual questions about application and interpretation of the studied statistical methods.
To pass the official exam in January 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.
