  • Exercises and grades
    • This course has no oral or written exam; instead students must submit their solutions to exercises.
    • The first set of exercises is a "warm up". A total score is the number of correct answers minus the number of incorrect answers (slightly incorrect answers do not alter the score). The grade is the score truncated at 6 (and zero). The deadline of submission is 27.9 22:00.
    • The second and third set of (slightly more advanced) exercises will have a similar weighing scheme. The final mark for each module is weighted average of all exercise sets. For the first module the weights are 1/4 for the first two sessions and 1/2 for the third session. For the second module all weights are equal.
  • Recordings are available on Moodle: [3]
  • Required software:
    • recent version of R (in doubt, simply download and install the latest version from the R website at [4] -- many potential problems are solved by simply upgrading to the latest R version)
    • RStudio (which you can download from [5])
