There are two components to the final score and grade:
3 tracks in DataCamp (35 points)
4 assessments in DataCamp (65 points)
Use this link to register to DataCamp, fill in the profile (properly, use your name, it will be used to track fulfillment of assignments), and complete your assignments there. If you do not have a @fsv.cuni.cz email, let me know, I will send you an invite.
Tracks (upload certificates of completion to the Study Roster, separately for the completed tracks):
Track 1: Skill Track "R Programming" (7.5 points) - by 19 November 2023 CEST
Track 2: Skill Track "Importing & Cleaning Data" (7.5 points) - by 10 December 2023 CET
Track 3: Career Track "Data Analyst with R" (20 points) - by 4 February 2024 CET
Assessments (upload a printscreen of your finished assessments to the Study Roster, make sure you name is visible in the printscreen):
Assessment 0: Understanding and Interpreting Data (5 points) - by 5 November CEST
Assessment 1: R Programming (20 points) - by 19 November 2023 CEST
Assessment 2: Importing & Cleaning Data with R (20 points) - by 10 December 2023 CET
Assessment 3: Data Manipulation with R (20 points) - by 4 February 2024 CET
Scoring:
For Assessment 0, you need to get at least 120 score in DataCamp to pass and obtain 5 points.
For Assessments 1-3:
To get the score, use the DataCamp score x and fit it to (x-60)/80*100%
At least 50%, i.e. at least 10 points, from each assessment is a necessary (not a sufficient) condition for passing the Data Analysis in R course.
You can re-take the assessments twice a week during the whole semester. Remember that the last one counts (not necessarily the best one).
Grading scale follows the faculty regulations:
A: 90+
B: 80-90
C: 70-80
D: 60-70
E: 50-60
F: below 50
