ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Learning outcomes: (in Polish)

KNOWLEDGE

1STA_W01 Knows the methods of statistical description of one-dimensional empirical distribution (measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, measures of skewness and concentration). M1_W06

1STA_W02 Knows the methods of statistical description of the relationship between two variables (construction of a correlation table, measures of stochastic and correlation relationships). M1_W06

1STA_W03 Knows the methods of analyzing the development of the phenomenon in time (measures of dynamics, analysis of time series). M1_W06

SKILLS

1STA_U01 Has the ability to choose the appropriate measure for the description of the selected aspect of one-dimensional empirical distribution, the relationship between two variables as well as dynamics of phenomenon, and is able to interpret the measures of descriptive statistics. M1_U02, M1_U09

1STA_U02 Has basic skills of individual analysis and interpretation of quantitative phenomena and processes in various areas of economic and social life (based on the general population). M1_U02, M1_U09

SOCIAL COMPETENCES

1STA Is able to individually expand knowledge and skills in descriptive statistics. K01 M1_K06

Assessment methods and assessment criteria: (in Polish)

The condition of passing the course is to achieve assumed learning outcomes.

Assessment methods of lectures: written or oral exam. Students who have completed the classes are allowed to take the exam.

Assessment methods of classes: test and activity during the classes. Leaving the student more than 4 hours qualify to fail the subject. Completing the absences takes place during the teacher's consultation hours.
