Content

In this course the students will get acquainted with systematic reviews, data repositories and handling and processing of large datasets.

The learning goals are as follows:

The students can perform a systematic review and make a study flow chart.

The students are aware of data repositories and are able to collect data.

The students can indepently perform basic skills in managing and manupulating data in a reproducable way.

The students can independently generate plots such as volcano plots, ideograms, etc. from big datasets.

Evaluation

Period 2    Credits 4,00

Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass)✔
Conditions The evaluation consists of multiple parts. For all parts of the evaluation, at least a score of 8/20 must be obtained in order to pass for the course.
Consequences A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive a F fail as final result. This final result is not tolerable. A student who achieves an 8/20 or 9/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive 9/20 as the final result, regardless of the weighted average of the scores. This final mark is tolerable. Eg. 8/20 + 16/20 = 9/20 (tolerable)
