Format of submissions

In general:

  • In each file/on each submission: name, tutorial group (1 for Thursday; 2 for Friday)
  • Preceding to each exercise: exercise number
  • Work together in groups of up to three people

Hand-written solutions on paper:

  • write legible
  • tack sheets
  • hand-over in office room 234, OH 14

Digital solutions:

  • combine solutions to all exercises (except source code) in one pdf file
  • send via e-mail, preferably from an e-mail address of the university, to simon.wessingtu-dortmund.de
  • scanned hand-written sheets should be the exceptional case
  • put everything into a zip file named ci13_<number of exercise sheet>_g<group number>_<given name of each student>.zip

Source code:

  • in R
  • do not embed in pdf file
  • comment
  • avoid absolute paths
  • give a description in your pdf document: how to execute (including an example), basic functionality, document results (as e.g. graphics, tables)

Programming Exercises

Programming exercises must be completed in the programming language R. R is an interpreted language with rich capabilities for visualization and statistical analysis, and is open source. Some links:

Passing the Tutorial

Note that it is not required to pass the tutorial for taking the oral exam. The sheets are classified into 3 blocks according to the 3 main topics of the lecture. For passing the tutorial, you need to achieve at least 50% of each block. You are welcome to work together in teams of up to three persons. Each team member has to be able to present the solutions during the tutorial lessons. Your presence during these lessons is mandatory. You may be absent only one time without medical certificate.
