Aanbieding 2 met studiegidsnummer 4023866ENW voor werkstudenten in het 1e semester met een verdiepend master niveau.
Refresh the basics of scientific research methods: References, experimental design, statistics, writing, reviewing.
The statistical techniques that will be treated are in principle those that are needed to analyze the experimental designs that will be treated.
Slides will be presented after the course, as they will be updated depending on course progress. General materials will be linked on the website. The slides will serve as the syllabus.
It is strongly recommended that students attend the lectures and take notes. Workload for master's courses is higher than for Bachelor's courses, and students are expected to make do with less supervision than at the Bachelor's level.
