General description and relevant information <p> Should there be a health emergency that requires the general public to be confined or which involves restricted mobility during the academic year, we shall attempt to adapt teaching and assessment. Should this situation arise, information about any changes will be given on the Moodle space for every subject. </p><p>The objectives of the subject are: Learning to efficiently collect and analyze data: description and interpretation of data, sampling, estimation, hypothesis testing, one-way and two-way analysis of variance, regression models. </p>

Methodologies
Methodologies
  Description
Introductory activities Introduction of the course explaining the contents to develop, the objectives to evaluate, the methodology used and the evaluation method.
Lecture The professor explains the theoretical content of each subject. A whiteboard and the projection of notes are used.
IT-based practicals in computer rooms Students are asked to solve and deliver practical exercises, using a computer, related to the content they are currently working on. These practical exercises are part of the ongoing evaluation of the course.
Personal attention Students can receive personalized attention for any aspect of the course during the student attention hours and during the hours for solving exercises and practicals in the classroom and, ellectronically, at any other time of the semester.

Personalized attention
Description

Students can receive personalized attention for any aspect of the course during the student attention hours and during the hours for solving exercises and practicals in the classroom and, ellectronically, at any other time of the semester.


Assessment
Methodologies Competences Description Weight        
IT-based practicals in computer rooms
CE1
Students, with the help of the professor, have to solve problems about several course contents. The practical exercises will be assessed.
50%
Short-answer objective tests
A1
Individual final summary exam. The exam will be carried out in the Moodle environment and all the material that the student considers necessary can be consulted, both on paper and in digital format and/or online, and use a calculator. 50%

Other comments and second exam session

For the second call there will be two options, of which the student will choose one previously:

- The first option will consist of an exam of the entire content of the subject and that will be comparable to that of the first call, which will be valued at 100%.

- The second option will consist, on the one hand, of an exam with a predominance of basic procedures (with a weight of 50%) and, on the other, of the note of the practicals (with a weight of 50%) that has been obtained in the first call (if it was equal to or greater than 5). If the practice grade is less than 5, then that grade is not saved and the exam is weighted 100%. The final grade for the subject of the student who chooses this second option will be a maximum of 5 points out of 10.

Both in the first and in the second call, it is necessary to get a minimum grade of 2 in the final exam to pass the subject.

During the evaluation tests, mobile phones and other devices that are not expressly authorized by the test will be turned off and out of sight. Communication between students within the classroom and students receiving outside help are not allowed.

The demonstratively fraudulent performance of any evaluation activity of any subject, both in material and virtual and electronic support, entails the student a failing grade for this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, given the seriousness of the facts, the center may propose the initiation of a disciplinary proceeding, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector.
