Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The course has “prüfungsimmanenten Charakter”, therefore attendance is mandatory throughout the semester – more than three absences automatically results in a grade of 5 (“fail”).In total, a minimum of 50 percent is needed to pass the course. The grading system is the following: 0 to 49% - grade 5, 50 to 59% - grade 4, 60 to 69% - grade 3, 70 to 79% - grade 2, 80 to 100% - grade 1.
Students who fail must repeat the entire course (and must register in the usual way next time the course is offered). No opportunities for make-ups will be offered.

Examination topics
The midterm exam is based on the topics covered in sessions 1 to 5 and the corresponding book chapters. The exam typically (but not necessarily) involves a combination of single-choice/true-false questions.The midterm exam is based on the topics covered in sessions 1 to 5 and the corresponding book chapters. The exam typically (but not necessarily) involves a combination of single-choice/true-false questions.The group project is an assignment conducted by teams of approx. 5 students and involves the analysis of a dataset as well as the interpretation and presentation of the relevant results. The group project is a collective effort and all members are expected to contribute as the same grade is awarded to students belonging to the same team. Detailed instructions will be provided in class.The final exam covers all topics discussed in the lectures and corresponding book chapters. The exam typically includes questions of different formats (e.g., multiple-choice questions and mini cases with open-ended questions).

Identifying practical and theoretical implications drawn from statistical analysesThe sessions involve theory discussions accompanied by practical examples and hands-on exercises. Lectures primarily provide background knowledge in understanding the theory and logic behind the statistical techniques and finally to illustrate how to perform and interpret the data analysis using the SPSS environment as an example. Note that successful completion of DAMD depends greatly on whether students systematically review the class material.
