• There are theory classes (lectures), problem sessions, and practices sessions. In these sessions and with individual work the especific skills are achieved. All of them are online.
• New material will be mainly introduced in the lectures, but explanations must be complemented with the autonomous study and personal work of the student, with the help of the references and the material imade available in the CV. There will be a partial test of theory and problems.
• The problems sessions will be devoted to the oriented resolution of some proposed problems. Attention will be payed to corection and rigorousness, as well as to vocabulary, mathematical expression and clarity in writing.
• In the practice sessions we shall introduce software with applications to statistics (R). Descriptive and inferential methodologies are introduced. These tools will be used to solve problems and will be used to work (individually) with real data.
• The Campus Virtual UAB is a key tool to follow the class: access to material, check information and following the course.

The assessment for this course consists of five components:

a) Three in-class problem-solving sessions, each concluding with the submission of an exercise at the end of the class. The dates will be announced at the beginning of the semester. Under no circumstances will changes of date or group be permitted. The two highest marks will be counted (10%).

b) One midterm examination (20%).

c) One final examination (35%).

d) Participation and practical assignment assessment (25%).

e) A reproducible final mini-project (10%).

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is not permitted in any assessment activity. Any use of AI will be considered a serious academic misconduct.

Students who do not obtain a minimum weighted average of 4.0/10 across assessment components (b) and (c), or who do not achieve an overall course grade of at least 5.0/10, will be required to take a resit examination during the official resit period. The resit covers assessment components (a), (b), and (c).

To pass the course, students must obtain a minimum weighted average of 4.0/10 in components (b) and (c), or alternatively in the corresponding resit examination. There is no minimum required mark for the remaining assessment components.If these minimum requirements are met, the final course grade will be the weighted average of all assessment components. Otherwise, the final grade will be the lower of the weighted average and 4.5/10.

The dates for continuous assessment activities and assignment deadlines will be published on the Virtual Campus. These dates may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Any modifications will always be communicated through the Virtual Campus, which is considered the official communication channel between instructors and students. Please note that the School of Engineering has a protocol regulating requests for the rescheduling of assessment activities.

For each assessment activity, a date, time, and location for grade review will be announced. During this review session, students may discuss their work with the instructor and submit any appeals regarding their grade. Such appeals will be evaluated by the instructors responsible for the course.Students who do not complete assessment activities accounting for at least 50% of the course grade will receive the status "Not Assessed" (NA). The distinction of Honours (Matrícula d'Honor) may be awarded to the highest-performing students who achieve a final grade of at least 9.0/10 and who, in the opinion of the teaching staff, have demonstrated outstanding achievement of all course learning objectives.

Without prejudice to any additional disciplinary measures that may apply under current academic regulations, any irregularity committed by a student that may affect the grading of an assessment activity will result in a mark of zero (0) for the corresponding assessment component. This component will not be eligible for reassessment, and the student will fail the course with a final grade not exceeding 4.5/10. Such irregularities include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, copying, or allowing another student to copy. Having communication devices accessible during assessment activities will also be considered a serious academic misconduct, regardless of whether they are actually used.

No grades from previous academic years will be carried forward.

For students opting for single assessment, all assessment activities will take place on the same day as the second midterm examination. The assessment will consist of: the in-person completion of assessment components (b), (c), and (d);

the submission of the previously assigned tasks corresponding to components (a) and (e). Assessment components (b) and (c) will be combined into a single written examination, while component (d) will take place in a computer laboratory.

The same minimum grade requirements and reassessment criteria described for the continuous assessment scheme will apply, taking into account that components (b) and (c) are combined into a single examination.
