Instructions for the final exam of Bayesian statistics. Check the official dates in the esse3 system and remind to register yourself. If you need another date other than the official one, please contact the professors by email.

- Master students

1. The final exam is written, consists of 3/4 open questions and focuses on the topics covered during the course. The total length does not exceed two hours, but it could also be less than two hours.
2. The 'flavour' is not merely theoretical but also from a practitioner perspective. 
3. For instance, the student could be asked to write some equations, do some small computations, and explain some formulas or algorithmic procedures. 
4. Before doing the written exam, the student must choose, some weeks before, one among the practical projects above and send only the solved and compiled project in RMarkdown the professors via mail 2/3 days before the exam takes place: keep in mind that the student is free to choose the project and the type of presentation (html, slides, pdf, power point). 
5. The .rmd presentation should be 'self-contained' and include any relevant data analysis (plots, tables, equations, etc.) 
6. In case the student wants to propose his/her own data set, he/she is asked to contact the professors some weeks before the planned 'appello'.
7. After the written exam, the professors will let the student know about the evaluation of the project and the written exam. Note that the written exam constitutes the 60% of the final evaluation.
