Organization and examination

This course is organised as a series of lectures, tutorials and with an accompanying series of mandatory assignments (labs) to be solved with the help of a computer. The practical assignments are made by the students on their own with support from course assistants.

Most of the content of the course will be covered in the lectures and in the assignments, but it is nevertheless necessary to use your own time to read the course literature and to work with the course material and the assigments.

The course will have a total of four assignments: one on classification, one on clustering, one on association rules, and one on web mining. On all assignments, you can work in pairs. Assignment deadlines are strict but, if you really need it, you are allowed to be late on one (but only one) assignment. Besides assignments, there will also be a written final examination, schedule below.

The requirements for passing the course is to pass the mandatory assignments and the written exam. For the assignment part of the course you will get a final pass or fail grade for the complete set of assignments taken together (individual assignments that are incomplete or failed are normally returned to the student for completion). The grade of the written exam will become the resulting grade for the course, i.e. some of Failed (U), 3, 4 or 5. Exchange and masters students can also get ECTS grades.
