| Course description |
This course focuses on a range of approaches to the design of experiments and the analysis of data. The examination consists of a choice of essay questions, from which students choose two. There is less emphasis on practical work than in Methodology 1, but some practical work is included in the course where appropriate, and question content may require students to comment on practical design / analysis issues.
