-== Course Aims & Goals ==
+==== Final Exam ====
-The course has two main aims. First, to provide the student with a compact foundation for the principles of scientific knowledge discovery, its foundational principles and concepts, the use of statistics for scientific investigation, and philosophical context out of which science came. Second, to provide the student with a first-hand experience in writing scientific text, focusing on scientific papers with results and data. After taking the course the student should be able to: 1 - Explain research, research methodologies, research in Computer Science; 2 - Choose a research subject and conduct a research project; 3 - Write technical reports, papers, thesis, proposals effectively; 4 - Extract the key points of a body of scientific research and present in a concise manner; 5 - Read and review a technical paper properly; 6  -Explain professional ethics: credit, conflict of interest, misconduct in science.
+**Date: 13.11.2015 Time: 9:00-12:00, Place: M104** \\
+The topics the final exam will cover are: Experimental design, statistics and philosophy of science, roughly in the proportions that these have been emphasized in the lectures and lecture notes. The emphasis will be on understanding, rather than on memorization, but of course students should know all the key important issues by heart. **Note that this is a //closed-book no support-material// exam.**
