Form: The final exam is a written test for 80 minutes. No oral examination follows.
Attempts: If some students would fail the exam in December, a second exam date will be scheduled in

with their own original hand-written notes (these may include for example some statistical formulas).
This notes will be checked by the instructor at the beginning of the exam. Any other materials or
materials not fulfilling the rules cannot be used in the exam. If needed, statistical tables and more
complicated formulae will be provided within the setup. A sample exam will be provided to give you a
better idea of what to expect in the exam.
Evaluation: The exam counts for 60 points of the total grade (remaining 40 points out of 100 are for
home assignments). To pass the course, student has to achieve at least 30 points in the exam and at
least 50 points in total. Points are given only for answering the stated questions. No points can be
earned by answering questions which were not asked.
Within a couple of days after the exam, each student will be informed of his/her points and grade by
email. Everybody will have the opportunity to see the corrected copy and discuss the mistakes – in
case of need, the details will be arranged by email.

during lectures and in home assignments.
