The theoretical part will be supported by an applied part on real data and case studies from marketing and management through the use of appropriate statistical software (such as Minitab, SPSS).
Students will be taught not only the theoretical aspect of the models but also the main application contexts and their use using appropriate statistical software.

Midterm tests This Academic Year 2022/23 intermediate examinations will be held (the first after Easter and the second at the end of the course). PLEASE NOTE: The procedure based on exonerations (mid and end of course) is intended as an anticipation of the first call. Those who, having passed the first exoneration, participate (i.e. enter the classroom and answer the roll call) in the second exoneration may NOT also reappear in the first roll call itself. Examination arrangements for students participating in the exonerations The assessment consists of the following parts: 1. exoneration on the first part of the program (after Easter) 2. group project to be completed by the end of the course (specifically by the date to be communicated by the lecturer). The project is evaluated with a score from 0 to 3 points (3 points are given to projects done excellently). The project will be valid up to and including the September session. 3. Second exoneration test consisting of a short oral on the project to be held at the close of the course). Only those who have passed the first exon and handed in the project may participate in this test. The overall grade will be given by the average of the marks given to the two exonerees Examination mode for students who do the group project and do not do the exonerees. The assessment will consist of two parts: 1. classroom written test on the entire program. 2. group project to be done by the end of the course (specifically by the date to be announced by the lecturer). The project is graded from 0 to 3 points (3 points are given to projects done excellently). The project will be valid up to and including the September session. If the result of the written test is positive (18 and above), the final grade will be given by the sum of the written test grade and the project score. There is no oral test.
