Messages
The lecturer may be contacted any time during the exam on August 19 either by email, boli@math.uio.no, or mobile phone 975 89 418. There will be no "lecturer's round" on Zoom.
Link to lecturer's round in Zoom at 10:00 on June 10 is now found in Canvas. One candidate is admitted at a time using the meeting room function in Zoom.
It turns out that old messages or announcements in Canvas are no longer available. Thus a new announcement in Canvas was made today with links to all recorded lectures.
There will be a "Lecturer's round" conducted in Zoom one hour after the start of the exam (i.e., 10:00). A Zoom-meeting will be set up (see annoncement in Canvas which will be posted before the exam). One candidate at a time will be admitted in Zoom using the meeting room function.
Important messages to all students (e.g., clarification of ambiguities in the exam text) will be posted on Canvas during the exam, with notification also given on the semester page.
Wishing you good luck with your exam on June 10!
In general, the following guidelines apply in courses at the Department of Mathematics:
- The examination lasts 4 hours. In addition, you will have an extra 30 minutes to scan and upload your PDF.
- All examination aids are allowed (e.g. books, online resources, scientific programming tools, etc.).
- It...
Wednesday April 21 was the last day of lectures. You are encouraged to contact the lecturer by email whenever you have questions about the course curriculum, exam exercises, practical questins about this years exam, etc. Also, remember to fill out and submit the course evaluation form by Friday, April 23. Best wishes for the exam preparations and the exam on June 10!
As you will see under "Examination: Time and place" on the course webpage, there will be a digital home exam in Inspera on June 10, from 9:00 to 13:00. On the department's webpages, I also found an information that "the administration will post information about the formal framework for the written home exam on the semester page for each course. This is also sent out by e-mail to the students".
When preparing the exam paper, I will follow the suggestion from the department that - although all aids are allowed - the exam problems should be close to what is usual in the course. This means, for example, that you will not be asked to do your own original R-calculations during the exam. You may, however, as is common in the course exams, be asked to interpret given R-outputs of some kind.
By logging into Canvas you will find the link to an evaluation form for STK4080/9080 Spring 2021. You are kindly asked to fill out and submit the form by the end of next week (Friday, April 23).
An updated syllabus for the course can now be found in Leganto. Note the additional topics/subsections for the PhD course STK9080. If you find errors, or if you have questions about the lists, you may send an email.
You may email me any time if you have questions about the obligatory exercise. On THURSDAY MARCH 18 I will be on Zoom from 09:00-12:00, where you may enter at any time and ask questions about the obligatory. I will then, if needed, use my white screen for explanation, and everybody is welcome to join for a shorter or longer time. The Zoom coordinates are given in a message in Canvas.
The obligatory exercise can be downloaded here. Deadline for submission is Thursday March 24 at 14:00 (in Canvas).
The obligatory exercise will be posted in Canvas (and on the course webpage) on Thursday 11 March. The deadline is Thursday 25 March at 14:30 (in Canvas).
A general information about obligatory exercises in the spring semester of 2021 can be found here.
The Zoom-lecture on January 27 was recorded and can be seen by using the link given in Canvas (a problem with access to the file was fixed on January 28 at 10:50).
The deadline for the "Oblig" was discussed in the lectures 27 Janaury. The suggestion is to have the deadline on Thursday March 25, with posting on the course website two weeks before that. Please notify me before the next lecture if this date is not appropriate.
The following are student contacts for the course:
Haris Fawad (medicine), email: haris.fawad@medisin.uio.no
Simon Kudsk Skoffer (statistics), email: simonks@math.uio.no.
A new Zoom-link for the lectures, to be used starting January 20, is now posted in the welcome page of STK4080 in Canvas.
Welcome to the first lecture on Zoom tomorrow at 9:15-12:00. Slides can be downloaded from the course homepage. We will go through at least Slides 1-3, and perhaps also most of Slides 4.
A link to Zoom is given in Canvas.
Send an email to boli@math.uio.no if you can't find the link or if you are not registered in the course. I will then send you the link.
All lectures will be digital on Zoom. The first lecture is Wednesday January 13 at 09:15-12:00 (see Schedule for detailed information).
