Assessment

This is a portfolio exam that consists of a report based on the data analysis pipeline developed in the mandatory assignments, and its respective results.

The portfolio will consist of two parts; a report and a presentation:

  1. The report is a careful description of the work done during the semester. The report should contain a set of codes, graphs and notes, together with a sample of the dataset.
  2. 20 minutes maximum presentation of the content presented in the report within a coherent narrative and clarifying any obscure steps in the data processing, analysis, results or conclusions.

The portfolio will be assessed as a whole.

In case of a new or postponed examination, an alternative examination format may be used. Oral presentation can’t be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All support materials are allowed for both the oral presentation and for the individual written summary.

Grading scale

The final assessment will be graded on a grading scale from A to E (A is the highest grade and E the lowest) and F for fail.

Examiners

Two examiners will be used, one of which can be external. External examiner is used regularly.
