Abstract

For each bachelor's degree course, the educational standard defines the minimum required level of mastering this digital competence: Elementary/Intermediate/Advanced. Independent Data Science Test. is a mandatory part of the curriculum for all Bachelor's degree programs. It assumes confirmation of the minimum required level for the development of this competence. The assessment is carried out after the courses that ensure the formation of this level have been completed at the Undergraduate Program. This exam checks the availability of competence in Data Analysis at the Advanced level. The final result is translated into a scale from 1 to 10. A score below 4 points is rounded off with the fractional part dropped (to the smallest integer), a score below 4 points is rounded to the nearest integer.The absence of positive results of the Independent Data Science Test. within the established time limits entails academic debt.
