The core of the learning process is the students' work. Students learn by working, being the mission of the teaching staff help him/her in this task by providing information or showing him/her the sources where one can be obtained and guiding your steps in a way that the learning process can be carried out effectively. In line with these ideas, and in accordance with the objectives of the subject, the course development is based on the following activities:

Theory classes:

Student acquire the scientific and technical knowledge specific to the subject by attending theory classes, complementing them with self-study of the subjects explained in order to assimilate the concepts and the procedures, to detect doubts and to realize summaries and schematics of the subject. In the theory classes, the professor introduces the basic concepts of the subject, showing their application. Theory classes are theoretical-practical classes in which the teacher introduces the basic concepts corresponding to the subject matter, demonstrating their application.

Practical classes:

The practical classes will consist of three practical blocks at the computer class. These sessions are held with a smaller group of students, in which the scientific and technical knowledge presented in the theoretical classes is developed to complete their understanding and deepen their knowledge through the development of three practical projects using appropriate software. This will be done both in class and independently by the students.

In the computer practice sessions, the student will learn to use computer tools for descriptive analysis of data sets and statistical inference.

Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the calendar established by the centre/degree, for the complementation by the students of the questions of evaluation of the performance of the professor and of evaluation of thesubject/module.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Continuous evaluation.

The evaluation of the subject consists of a a continuous assessment part of the acquired skills: there will be a theoretical exam with a weight of 35%. A practical exam with a computer that will have a weight of 20% in the final assessment of the subject. These two exams will be the rocoverable part of the subject. The remaining 45% of the grade will be obtained from the submission of three assignments (each one counts for 15%). These assignments are not recoverable.

Attendance at practical sessions (informatics and Q&A sessions) is mandatory. Practical sessions cannot be recoverable. If a student is unable to attend a session, they may arrange with the professor to attend with another group, provided there are computers available. Students will receive a grade of \"Non-evaluable\" if their absence exceeds 20% of the scheduled sessions.

Students who pass the theory exam will be permitted to improve their grade, however, the final grade considered will be the last grade, regardless of whether it is higher or lower than the previous one.

To participate in the recovery examination, students must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. Therefore, the students will obtain the \"Non-evaluable\" qualification when the evaluation activities carried out have a weighting of less than 67% in the final grade.

Unique evaluation.

The unique evaluation consists of the theory exam, the practical exam and, regarding the submissions of the three oractical assignments, a single submission can be made on the same day as the practical exam and they are not recoverable.

Minimum grades.

A minimum mark of 4.5 out of 10 is required for each exam (theoretical or practical). If these minimum marks are achieved, the final mark is the weighted average of the different assessable parts and to pass must be equal to or greater than 5. Otherwise, the maximum grade that can be entered in the official record will be 4.5.

Use of AI

For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, translations, for code creation or other activitiesat the discretion of the teaching staff. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

The commission of any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorised in the course guide), which may lead to a significant change in the grade, will result in that attempt being marked with a 0. If the course guide stipulates that obtaining a minimum mark in this assessment is a prerequisite for passing the module, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessments for the same module, the final mark for that module will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
