Teaching method

Lectures will be presential (if possible, to be confirmed). 
It is intended that the classes work according to an essentially interactive teaching model, 
using practical exercise resolution and data analysis in R environment.

Evaluation method

Continuous evaluation:

It includes the following components:

  • 1st mini-test (MT1)- Test with consultation, to be carried out in a computer lab, in person, through moodle, with a weight of 25%. The test will last for 2 hours. The test is rated on a scale of 0 to 20 points (no minimum rating).
  • 2nd mini-test (MT2)- Test with consultation, to be carried out in a computer lab, in person, through moodle, with a weight of 25%. The test will last for 2 hours. The test is rated on a scale of 0 to 20 points (no minimum rating).
  • Work (T)- Individual work of multivariate data analysis. The work will have a weight of 50%. The work is rated on a scale of 0 to 20 values.

Final grade calculation formula (NF): NF = 0.25 x (MT1+ MT2) + 0.5 x T (partial grades rounded to 1 decimal place)

Resource (Improvement)/Special: In-person written test to be held on a single date, within the period provided for in the academic calendar, with a weight of 100%. The exam will last for 3 hours. The exam is rated on a scale from 0 to 20 points.
