Content

This course aims to integrate knowledge and skills acquired in other courses (data management, programming courses, statistics and data visualisation). It takes the form of a group project assignment. No regular lectures are given, but rather a few seminars are organised. No new theory is provided by the seminars, but rather skills that are helpful for bringing the project assignment to a good end. With the project, students learn to integrate the different aspects of data science.

Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass)
Conditions The student must participate in all 3 parts of the evaluation : Github Code Bases, the practice evaluation and the final project defense. The student must pass all three components in order to the course.
Consequences If the above conditions are not met, he final mark will by the minimum of: - 9 - the total score of all evaluation components.

Second examination period

Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt
Yes
Explanation (English)If the student received a fail for the permanent practical evaluation a new individual project will be assigned. If the student receives a fail mark for the github repository or the project defense, the student needs to work on an individual basis to improve these components and needs to retake the project defense.
