The learning activities are of three different types:
- theory lectures,
- practicals: written exercises and data analyses using the statistical software R.

Assessment methods and criteria
The final mark is a weighted mean computed on the two marks attributed to the assessments relative to the two parts of the course.
If the two separate marks are bigger than or equal to 5/20, then the weight of the result for part 1 is 20% and the weight for part 2 is 80%. However, if at least one of the two marks is below 5/20, the global mark will not exceed 9/20.
In case of absence at one part of the exam, the students will be given a mark of 0/20 for that part.
