Examination Methods
The starting point is a written exam. The use of the PC is needed, particularly the use of spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel, free for students, or Apache OpenOffice Calc) and of JASP, an open source statistical package. Starting from a given dataset, students should perform some analysis in agreement with the program of the course. 5.6 Exercises will be proposed, each scored on a 6/7 points scale, depending on the difficulty, on the bases of a 32-point score. On the basis of the results in this written exam, the teacher can decide for an interview.
