Private study

Students will be provided with a detailed reading list as well as a recommended textbook. These readings will correspond to the lectures and will aid their understanding of the lectures. Workshops (Seminars) will be used to ensure that students comprehend the learnt technique from lectures. Exercises will be provided during the workshops. Given the limited amount of time in the lectures and workshops, students will have to conduct private learning on different modules and programming languages.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

During the lectures, progress will be monitored by in-class exercises and unassessed pop quizzes. The practical will adopt a more flipped learning approach. Computer-based exercises will be used in the workshop corresponding to the statistical modelling part of the module. Students must work individually to apply the models learnt during the lecture to address the marketing problems. Immediate feedback will be provided. Besides, different exercises will be used to supplement different models to solve various marketing issues. Weekly office hours will be available so students can ask questions regarding the main teaching sessions to discuss progress and identify/respond to areas of difficulty. The discussion forum on Minerva will provide another opportunity to monitor students learning process.
