Course description | This course focuses on a range of approaches to the design of experiments and the analysis of data. The examination consists of two sections; students must answer questions from each section. One section of the exam covers the qualitative methods section of the course. 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. |
