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.
