Summary Guide for writing Learning Outcomes
Students should have the following skills after completing the course:
Knowledge: Understanding and describing the application of course concepts such as prediction models, single and multiple linear regression, nonlinear regression, accounting regression, and time series is required.
Abilities: To be able to distinguish the specific nature of the problem and use the proper methods and procedures of analysis, evaluation, and forecasting for business decision making, you must first understand the concepts.
Skills: Selection, combination, and use of relevant business forecasting approaches. Explain and defend the problem-solving strategy.

Description of the evaluation procedure
Language of evaluation, methods of evaluation, summative or conclusive, multiple choice questionnaires, short-answer questions, open- ended questions, problem solving, written work, essay/report, oral examination, public presentation, laboratory work, clinical examination of patient, art interpretation, other
Specifically-defined evaluation criteria are given, and if and where they are accessible to students.
The evaluation of the theoretical part will be carried out in the Greek language in three distinct ways:
1. A mid-term assessment in the 7th or 8th week (20 %).
2. Individual tasks (10%) that will be graded in the following manner: Ability to solve problems and give a public presentation
3. A written final exam (70%) that covers the following topics:
- Multiple choice questions
- Comparative analysis of theoretical aspects
- Problem-solving skills
The evaluation of the laboratory part will be carried out in the Greek language in three distinct ways:
1. Mid-term evaluation during the 10th week (15%).
2. Individual tasks (25%) that will be evaluated as follows: Problem solving ability, public presentation
3. Final examination (50%) that includes
- Multiple choice questions
- Problem solving using PC
