• Develop research questions with measurable outcomes
• Design an experiment to test specific research questions
• Fine-tune their experiment by considering confounding factors
• Develop a statistical analysis plan
• Determine sample size
• Analyse data obtained from an experiment and explain the results

Students are advised to do the online LinkedIn Learning on SPSS or R (as appropriate) prior to coming to this short course.
