Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
The exam consists in a project assignment and brief oral discussion.
The project will involve identifying a dataset, developing research questions, and using the skills learned in the class to answer the research questions. It will include a brief introduction, a methods section, a section on results, graphic representations of the sample and/or results, and a brief discussion. All assignments must be submitted via email (dataset, script, and project in pdf) 5 days before the exam, they will be checked for plagiarism via Compilatio.net. During the oral discussion students must present the project and discuss the results.
