Course Policy

Score policy:
 The Final Score is obtained from the following formula: Final Score = 0.6 × (Homework Score) + 0.4 × (Exam Score). The student is expected to prepare the final project in a written form as electronic document. The exam is conducted in the form of oral defense of the final project. The Exam Score measures the overall quality of the final project. It is integer number from 0 to 10. Parts of the final exam data should be prepared in advance and can be used in regular homework assignments.

Academic ethics policy: you have to do your homeworks by yourself. In case of academic cheating (e.g. if you copy someone else's work, etc.), your work will receive grade 0 and the program supervisor will be notified. If you feel that you are stuck with the homework, ask instructors for advice and hints.

Late penalties: in case of late submission, your grade will be multiplied by exp(-t / 86400), where t is the number of seconds since the due date. For example, if you delay the submission by one day, your grade will be multiplied by exp(-1)=0.3678794412.

Extensions: you can ask for up to two extensions of homework due dates during the course. Each extension is one week. Extensions due to valid excuses (i.e. illness) do not count.


Software

During this course we will use R as a programming language and RStudio as a GUI.

How to install R and RStudio?

1. Download R (you can choose another mirror here if you wish) and install it on your computer. Make sure you did it before installing RStudio.

2. Download RStudio (you need RStudio Desktop Open Source License) and install it on your computer. It is recommended to create a shortcut for RStudio during installation.

It is possible avoid installing anything on your PC, using rstudio.cloud (an online version of RStudio).

For successful submission of assignments you should be able to create and save R code files (.R) and RMarkdown files (.Rmd).

Online course

Some parts of MOOC (online) course is included in the program.
