THE COURSE AIMS TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS, TO THE STATISTICAL TESTS, MOST COMMONLY USED IN BIOLOGICAL, BIOTECHNOLOGICAL AND HEALTH RESEARCH, AS WELL AS TRAINING THEM TO USE SPECIFIC SOFTWARE FOR DATA ANALYSIS. THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE METHODOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS MOST FREQUENTLY QUOTED IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE CONCERNING BIOLOGICAL, BIOTECHNOLOGICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES. THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE WILL HELP THE STUDENTS TO DEEPEN AUTONOMOUSLY THE USE OF THE ANALYSIS TOOLS, ALSO WITH REFERENCE TO TECHNIQUES NOT COVERED IN THE COURSE. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE RESEARCH HYPOTHESES FORMULATED ON A SET OF DATA FROM THE CURRENT LANGUAGE INTO THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS LANGUAGE. THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING (FRONTAL DIDACTIC ACTIVITIES, LABORATORIES, AND PROJECT WORK), STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT SUCH ANALYZES WITH THE HELP OF THE COMPUTER, INTERPRET THE RESULTS AND TRANSLATE THE LATTER INTO INFORMATION THAT CAN BE USED DIRECTLY ON THE PRACTICAL SIDE. |
