As part of the course assessment, the participants were evaluated through project presentation and analysis conducted on August 18, 2026, and an MCQ-based test on August 22, 2026, enabling assessment of both their practical application and conceptual understanding of data analytics skills.
The MCQ Test, consisting of 50 questions to be completed within one hour, evaluated participants’ knowledge in key areas such as data handling, preprocessing, statistical analysis, data visualization, analytical techniques, and tools. The assessment helped measure their understanding of the concepts covered during the certificate course.
