List of assessments

This course is assessed by a mix of problem sets and final exam. You can find the details below:

📝 Problem Sets (60%)

  • Summative problem sets released on Weeks 5, 8 & 11.
  • These will have a similar style to the formative problem sets, a mix of R tasks and your written interpretation of the analyses.
  • Typically, you will have 4-6 days to submit your solutions.
  • Each of the three summative problem sets is worth 20% of the final mark, and will be graded on a 100 point scale.

✍️ Exam (40%)

  • An open-book online exam.
  • 3 hours for working on the exam + 1 hour for submission.
  • Exam questions will be comparable in style to the problem sets, but will require less writing of R code.
  • The exam questions will be released on Moodle sometime in the Exam Period. Our exact timeslot has not yet been confirmed by LSE Exams team.
