The final evaluation consists of two parts:

Continuous work includes assignments based on the subject matter covered in lessons using its own data. The assignement and submission takes place in the Moodle. Completion of the task, its completeness and quality will be evaluated by points from 0 to 100 (in Moodle). During the semester, 6 tasks are planned (to be specified according to the subject matter). The deadline for submitting individual tasks is 2 weeks from the assignment (for each task will be specified in Moodle and during the lesson). Delay of performance can be arranged individually and only before the deadline for submission.

The semestral project presents a comprehensive analysis of own demographic data in SAS. These are basic descriptive statistics of data files, variables and relationships between them, incl. adequate outputs. The terms of submission will be specified in Moodle and during classes.
