Prerequisites
Co-requisites
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Seminars (2 lessons per 2 weeks): workshop, individual work, discussion methods.
Electronic Support: The Biostatistics course developed in the Moodle e-learning system.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
At the end of the semester will be the full-time credit test (electronically in moodle) for 50 points, minimum for success: 25 points.
In the sum, one can obtain for the subject 100 points (work in term 50 p + credit test 50 p), classification of the subject according to the ECTS scale.
