Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Conduct and critically evaluate an example of qualitative data analysis.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of and carry out a priori power analysis.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of complex designs, including the implications of an interaction effect and the type of interaction.
4. Conduct various complex analyses with more than one variable including ANCOVA, two-way ANOVA and tests of simple main effects.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of and carry out linear regression analysis.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

Research design and statistical analysis is a skill, akin to learning a language or a physical technique, rather than some “correct” information that you should know. For this reason, students’ skill is practiced over the course of the module. Students need to be prepared for a career where they can adapt their analyses to suit different research design and topic contexts. Key tests are presented in specific examples and students are required to continuously practice these with different examples to build up their skills. As we move through the content in the module, later topics will build on the skills of earlier topics and so students will benefit from working hard in the earlier weeks so refine skills in later weeks. As with other skill development, exposure, repetition, feedback, discussion, group-work, and participation are encouraged/required for students to achieve the learning outcomes for this module.

Feedback Strategy/Strategies

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

Individual feedback on mid-semester assignment is provided online. Solutions and feedback are provided in class on participation activities. These allow for self/peer assessment. All learning from participation activities is applied in the end-of-semester exam.
