The final grade is based on a portfolio assessment consisting of two group assignments and a reflection note where the student reflects on his/her learning and development. The first assignment tests whether students have adopted principal skills in programming by solving relatively simple finance applications. The feedback on the first assignment is important as it allows students to improve their programming knowledge which they need for the second assignment. There the focus will be on more advanced finance applications. One grade is given for the entire portfolio.
Each assignment must be answered in English and counts approximately 47.5% towards one final grade. The reflection note counts for approximately 5%. Each group assignment will have an R-code as its delivery and needs to be submitted electronically.
