Teaching methods

The course will be taught as a mix of lectures and interactive software exercises.

Exam Rules

The course is assessed through a written, one-hour exam. The exam is composed of a theoretical section, consisting of 5 multiple choice questions, and a practical part, which tests both empirical and theoretical understanding and consists of 10 short open-answer questions computed with the use of STATA. Each answer is worth 2 points. Students pass the course with a minimum grade of 18/30.

Students will be encouraged to discuss and actively participate in the lectures in order to practise the studied material and deepen their understanding. The final exam assesses students' understanding of the course content as well as their ability to apply this knowledge by conducting and interpreting analyses with the use of STATA.

The exam is assessed on a scale from 0-30. Students pass the course with a minimum grade of 18/30.
0-17/Fail: major deficiencies and/or inaccuracies in knowledge and understanding of topics; limited ability to analyze and synthesize; frequent generalizations.
18-20: Barely sufficient knowledge and understanding of topics with possible imperfections; Sufficient skills of analysis synthesis and independent judgment.
21-23: Routine knowledge and understanding of topics; Correct analysis and synthesis skills with coherent logical argumentation.
24-26: Fair knowledge and understanding of topics; Good analytical and synthesis skills with rigorously expressed arguments.
27-29: Comprehensive knowledge and understanding of topics; Remarkable skills of analysis, synthesis. Good independent judgment.
