MARINE LIVING RESOURCES |
Course Objective |
One of the essential goals of the research workers in the fields of marine living resources is to analyse and evaluate the data on organisms and their environment, and subsequently obtain scientific results with high precision and accuracy. This course aims to teach graduate students various biostatistical methods, in particular the general linear models, that they can use during their own research. The course also incorporates the introduction of some contemporary statistical software packages to give students a better perspective on the several applications of biostatistics. |

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods |
Class lectures are carried out in a highly interactive format. The instructor prompts students for response to questions posed and solicits their thoughts on issues discussed. Lectures will focus on the transfer of biostatistical concepts and techniques rather than rigorous mathematics. The emphasis will be put on the real world applications and the examples will be chosen in a way to resemble biostatistical problems that students might face in preparation of a master's or doctoral thesis. Individual participation by students in classroom discussions will be strongly encouraged. |
