| Course abstract | |
| The course gives knowledge about data analysis methods, management and analysis in the different statistical software. The following topics are covered: descriptive statistics, graphical summarizing of data and qualitative data analysis methods. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| • knowledge and critical understanding about quantitative data (1st test, home work, practical works) and qualitative data analysis methods (2nd test, practical works); how to apply data analyses methods in research projects (tests, home work);
• skills to discuss the choice of methods of data processing principles, their application and implementation, to interpret the results and draw conclusions (tests, home work, practical works); • competence to use statistical software and realize data analysis outcomes in bachelor work (the home work is developed and presented). |

| Requirements for awarding credit points | |
| Laboratory works have been developed. Successfully write two tests (80%). Independent work has been developed and defended (20%). Examination. | |
| Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work | |
| Independent work: select a time series data from the Statistics website. Use a multiplicative and additive model for time series analysis. Describe the obtained results. The volume of work at least 5 pages, is uploaded to e-system, and is defended. | |
| Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
| Exam evaluation depends on the cumulative assessment of two tests (80%) and independent work (20%). Tests can be written only at specified time and once. Students who have a cumulative assessment of the study course less than 4 or wish to improve it (have at least 4) have examination. The exam includes practical part (80%) and theory (20%). The exam will be during the period of individual studies and examinations. | |
