| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Acquisition of materials placed in e-studies (video lectures, articles, publications, datasets), self-testing tasks. Development of independent work: to perform research-based data analysis, visualization and prognostic model development for a specific health dataset with the data analytics and prognostics tools offered in the course. In order to assess the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill in the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Study course assessment: final exam test assessment. The exam is available to students who have successfully completed the test on all course topics. | ||||||||
