Attendance is crucial for success in this course, and students are expected to attend at least 70% of lectures and seminar sessions. This will allow them to stay up-to-date with the course content and participate in discussions and group activities.

In addition to attending lectures and seminars, students will be required to complete a data analysis and visualization project, which will be presented as an oral seminar presentation. This project will allow students to apply the data science skills they have learned to a real-world social science research problem.

To successfully complete the course, students must accumulate at least 35% of their grade through class activities, including written and presented and seminar project. This will ensure that students are regularly engaging with the course content and actively working towards mastering the skills and concepts covered in the course.

Način polaganja ispita

Class activities: Midterm exam (written), seminar presentation (written and oral) and final exam (oral)

Način ocjenjivanja

 

Final course grade is based on 100 points earned through student’s continuous involvement in class activities:

Fair (2) – 50 to 64 points

Good (3) – 65 to 79 points
