Assessment details

  • Final exam with two components: 1 hour written exam + 1 hour practical exam using R on a computer
  • Each component is worth 10 points, for a total of 20 points
  • The exams are closed-book but there is a formula sheet for the course, which you can consult during both parts of the exam
  • You cannot use your own laptop for the computational part, you must use the computers that are available in the lab rooms
  • Students with a final grade greater than 17 points (out of 20) can be invited to take an oral exam. If they decline, their final grade will be 17 points.
