About this Unit
This unit is driven by the scientific method with a focus on experimental design and related data analysis. Although some of the methods and techniques are dealt with in passing in earlier units, a more complete approach is adopted here. Research design and methodology issues, statistical concepts and techniques, computer analysis of data, and communicating research findings are all features of this unit.
