To obtain 2 ECTS, you need to attend the lectures and take a final exam based on lectures and selected chapters of mandatory literature. The exam will be in the form of an online test and will take place after the end of the program.
Software requirements
Lectures will be held in a computer classroom, so you don't need your own laptop. But if you prefer to use your own laptop, please install R (https://r-project.org) and a free version of R Studio integrated development environment (https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio).
