Rrecording of classes and lectures
I DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY FORM OF RECORDING OF CLASSES OR LECTURES. This prohibition also applies to recording for private purposes.
Requirements for passing the course
The final grade for the course is based on a point scale:
- 0-39 exam marks insufficient threshold for exam (2) irrelevant the number of activity marks
- Sum of the exam points and activity points (see formula below):
- 50-59 sufficient (3)
- 60-69 sufficient plus (3.5)
- 70-79 good (4)
- 80-89 good plus (4.5).
- 90> & top 10% very good (5)
- above 99 - recommendation for business - on request.
- above 119 - recommendation for research - on request.
- min. 30 - to sit for the zero term exam
The student must not be penalized by negative interpretation of the rules of instruction.
There are three exam dates: zero (professional), first and second. All exam maximum 100 points.
Exam 15 scenario questions (2 points each) or case study (30 points), 1 case study (30 points), 2 case study (20 points), time: 90 minutes.
The zero exam is taken in an elevated difficulty mode.
Those who receive a very good grade in the professional exam receive a presumptive acceptance to: Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral seminars. Those who have passed the professional examination and have received at least 100 points in total, i.e. from the examination and activity, may apply for recommendation to the marketplace. Those who have received a total of 120 points may apply for research recommendation.
The exam is in the “essentials” mode with the display of single questions. If the answers coincide more than 80% of the similarity index, the answer is not graded. In the case of using API/AI to solve tasks, for example, chat-boat GPT3 - the exam is annulled without the right to take into account the points for activity in subsequent attempts.

Path to PhD
Students considering a career in research or mixed business-research strategy can benefit from a research paper writing project. Students write a scientific article on assigned topics. They meet for 4 meetings of 5 credits points each. The article is subject to a 3-reviews rounds by the instructor. At the last 4 review, points from 0 to 100 are awarded. Projects that receive more than 49 points can be further developed into a scientific article in cooperation with the instructor, authors are grated the best mark and are released from the final examination and might claim the submission fee grand. Participation in the PhD track does not exclude participation in normal classes, the student may withdraw from the PhD track at any time, with the right to keep the points earned.

Software installation
R and RStudio
In this class we use R programming language with RStudio environment. We can use either a desktop version (recommended for people with relatively fast computers, under control of a typical operating system such as Windows, Linux), or a version in the cloud (hardware independent, but limited in terms of shared resources) which is easier to install.
- desktop installation->
- first install the programming language from the project website: https://cloud.r-project.org/
- then install RStudio as frontend from this page: RStudio https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/ Please choose free version
For those less IT savvy there is a tutorial video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX532N_XLIs
2 Cloud Installation -> On this page please login no credit card information required. Please select the free account type for student.
- Conisider seting you your projectc under the controlled version (GIT)
