Statistics with R (WS 2022/23)

Dear students,

 

Those who cannot find their names on the seat allocation document, please contact me. There was a problem with the LSF portal, and some of your registrations could not have been recorded.

 

Even if you have already contacted your study coordination office to register manually, please write to me too, so that we can estimate how many exam sheets we need to print in advance.

 

 

Kind regards,

Margarita Ryzhova

2,3	75
2,7	70

Also, many of you have asked which of the two grades (exam or re-exam, if you take both) will appear on your transcript of records. It depends on your study program! Please contact your examination office!

 

 

Kind regards,

Margarita

 

Dear students,

To find your seat, consult a corresponding pdf file of the room plans (also on CMS).

When at your seat, you must have your student card. We will check it during the exam.

• You are allowed to have with you a cheat sheet and a non-programmable calculator.
• We accept only handwritten A4 format (both-sided) cheat sheets.
• Make sure you bring a pen and NOT a pencil. We do not accept answers written with a pencil.

For those of you who are still interested in installing 'brms' library, I can help you with installation this Thu before tutorial 2. So, I will be waiting for you in E1.3., SR 015 from 9:40 to 10:15 sharp.

 

P.S. as I wrote in the previous messages, sheet 11 is optional, meaning that it does not affect your admission to the exam. 

 

Kind regards,

Margarita

Hello,

due to the reported installation problems of brms package, Sheet 11 is now optional.

Those of you who submitted the assignment will still receive the feedback.

If you didn't manage the installation, you can go to one of the tutorials (will be announced later which one), and we will try to help you solve the problem.

In any case, the exercise sheet will be explained in the tutorials as usual.

 

 

Kind regards,

Margarita Ryzhova

Dear Students,

I have made the lecture recordings of all lectures from last year available now via teams. You can use them to help with exam preparation.

Next Tuesday, we will have a question session in our usual lecture slot. Please do prepare questions ahead of time!

The very best thing is to already post questions into this google document. This will allow me to organize the questions more easily for the meeting.

Best regards,

Vera Demberg

Dear students,

 

as you know, the deadline for exam registration as well as for de-registration is on the next Tuesday, 7th of Feb.

If you want to take the exam, we kindly ask you to register for it in lsf before this Friday. In this case, we will have time to check if you are actually qualified for the exam, and in case if you are not qualified, you will have time to de-register. The same concerns the students who cannot register in lsf. In this case, contact us to register you manually.

On the exam, you are allowed to have a cheat sheet:

• Handwritten only
• A4 format, both sides

The main purpose of a cheat sheet is to help you remember and structure course material. Therefore, we only accept handwritten cheat sheets.

It is good practice to think about the topics you find most challenging. Start preparing the cheat sheet in advance. Make several drafts of the cheat sheet and think carefully about its structure.  Do not try to make an exhaustive outline of the whole course — A4 format is not enough for that anyway.

Make sure that the information on the cheat sheet is structured and it is easy to find (which is extremely important given the limited time you have on the exam).

Dear students,

 

please make sure you finish all DataCamp assignments 2 weeks before the exam at the latest! Completing all DataCamp assignments is absolutely required to be admitted to the exam. If you have any problems with access to DataCamp or the assignments, please contact me asap.

Dear Students,

to keep the load equal for all tutors, we kindly ask you to submit the homework only to those tutors to whom you submitted the last exercise sheet 5. Some of you were reassigned to a new tutorial slot. In this case, you should have received an email notification. The reassignment means that, from now on, you will submit the homework only to the corresponding tutor. The reassignment doesn’t mean that you should attend this particular tutorial slot. You can attend the slots you prefer. 

 

Kind regards,

Hello students,

I am currently in the process of joining those groups that only have 1 or 2 members. I am considering everybody, who is in an assignment group and everybody that handed in something for the first assignment.

For those of you, who have not handed in anything yet: If you want to take the course for credit, get in touch with me instantly (emilia@lst.uni-saarland.de), such that I can assign you to a group in time for the second assignment. Everybody, who missed the first assignment deadline has to pass all remaining sheets in order to be admitted to the exam.

This does not apply to students that were admitted to the exam in earlier years, they do not have to join a team and hand in exercise sheets.

There are still some students who did not yet sign up to datacamp - please do so ASAP as the first datacamp deadline has already passed and we will be strict about the upcoming ones: You will only be admitted to the exam, if you complete all datacamp assignments before their due date, it is not enough to do everything in the last week of the semester.

This does not apply to students that gained admission to the exam in previous years.

Dear students of StatR,

you have been assigned to a tutorial group. We recommend you looking for team mates within these groups in order for your assignment being graded by your own tutor.

This week, the tutorials will mainly be there to help you with technical issues (installation of RStudio, signing in to datacamp, joining TEAMS group etc.) and to give you a chance of finding team mates for the first assignment.

Only for students, who were assigned to tutorial 2, 3, or 4:

Unfortunately, we did not configure cms to distinguish between online and on campus tutorials, which take place in the same slot. Please check, whether you got your preference with regard to online/offline. If not, get in contact and we will switch students where possible.
