    iLearn Quiz

    The quiz will become available on iLearn in Week 4 (Tuesday 10 August at 6am) and due
    in Week 4 (Sunday 15 August at 23pm). The duration of the test will be 60 minutes.
    There are two attempts allowed for this quiz. The highest grade of the two attempts will
    be recorded as your final mark. 

    The exercises will assess the material covered in Weeks 1-2 of lectures (material covered
    in SGTA classes held in weeks 2-3) and your ability to use statistical software to conduct
    statistical analyses. It is your responsibility to find an appropriate location with a reliable
    internet connection where you can complete the quiz. It is advisable to plan this in
    advance. 

    Mid-Semester Exam

    The second assessment task, the Mid-Semester Exam, will be held in Week 7. It will
    cover the material presented in lectures weeks 1-5. 

     Type of Assessment
    The test will be an iLearn quiz similar in structure (but not content) to the Week 4 iLearn
    quiz. However, it will not require you to download datasets. Instead any summary
    statistics for a dataset will be provided on the page and the test will asses:

     your ability to compute further necessary statistics using the provided summary
    statistics
     your knowledge of course material through multiple choice questions or numeric
    answer questions.

    The goal of the assessment is to assess your statistical skills and knowledge.

    Test length

    You will have 40 minutes to complete the test.

    Availability

    Your Mid-Semester Exam will be available as a link under the Assessment tab on iLearn
    during Week 7 from 6am on Tuesday 7 September to 23pm on Sunday 12 September. It
    is your responsibility to find an appropriate location with a reliable internet connection
    where you can complete the exam. It is advisable to plan this in advance.

    Exam Conditions

    The mid-semester exam is not supervised and is open-booked. You do not have to
    download any dataset this time around so there will not be any questions that you can
    only solve in R. All questions can be solved by hand with a calculator and a set of
    statistical tables. Obviously, we recommend you to use R which is a much better
    calculator. 

    Test structure and content

    You will be given your own test, with your own randomly generated questions, which
    differ from those of other students in your class. The scope of the material is Lecture
    Weeks 1-5.

    Multiple response questions

    There are questions on the Mid-Semester Exam where multiple answers can be selected.
    If this is the case you will see the following statement:
    "Note: There are multiple correct options. Marks are awarded for correctly selected
    options but deducted for incorrectly selected options."

    Assignment

    You will submit your assignment as a reproducible PDF document through


    the Turnitin submission link that will be available through iLearn (below here). If you
    want to score full marks, you will also need to use Git version control to push the
    assignment into a designated repository (instructions inside the assignment questions
    file).
