The main exam will take place on February 20, 14:00. Both exams will last 90 minutes. There will be some practise exam questions for the content covered so far available on cms before the Christmas break, which will be discussed in the first tutorial session in January. You do not need to hand in your solutions, it is just for you to practise and prepare for the exam. With regard to the regular exercise sheets, please be reminded that you need to provide an answer for each subquestion. Not answering subquestions will lead to a fail on the entire exercise sheet. Best wishes, Emilia Ellsiepen |

If you have been assigned to that tutorial (#7), but are taking the course for the first time and for credit, please get in touch! If you are retaking the course, but were still assigned to a tutorial slot other than #7 although you opted for the "no tutorial", also get in touch! Retakers are welcome to join the tutorials to refresh their memory and get some more practise. Students registering late, will be distributed to the tutorials as soon as possible for us.

There are two kinds of exercises: datacamp courses and our own exercise sheets.
The DataCamp exercises will be given each week, access will be available for you after signing up (see Materials section for details).
There will be no lecture in the first week of the semester, but the first datacamp assignment is due! Make sure to register on datacamp and download and install R on your computer as indicated under materials. There are three helpdesk sessions in the first week, in case you experience problems with these steps.
Our own sheets will be available on this site each week after the lecture. They are always due on Saturday night. Please form assignment groups of 3 students and hand in together. For the first sheet, it is possible to hand in individually. All students that are not part of an assignment group will be grouped by us on November 8, but please try finding partners for the first sheet already, you can use the forum.
To be admitted to the exam:
- DataCamp: you need to do all obligatory DataCamp exercises.
- Our sheets (PDFs or R files): you can miss one complete sheet without excuses. If you are ill and have to miss 2 or more sheets, please contact us.
A whole sheet is counted as completed only if you made a good attempt to solve each question or if you at least formulated why you couldn't solve it and what you have tried.
We are following two books:
- Learning statistics with R: A tutorial for psychology students and other beginners by Danielle Navarro
- Statistical Methods for Psychology by David C. Howell
If you are retaking the course and have admission to writing the exam already, you do not need to enrol in a tutorial (choose "no tutorial" option). You also do not need to hand in exercise sheets or complete datacamp courses. You are welcome to attend tutorials. If you do, please notify the tutor that you won't hand in exercise sheets.
This class is supported by DataCamp, which allows students to take online classes with automatic code correction for learning R, Python and SQL.
The courses combine short expert videos and hands-on-the-keyboard exercises.
