About this Unit
This unit equips students with the skills needed to design and develop a research project, to operationalise their research question, to select and undertake the appropriate methods of analysis, and to effectively present results. The program is one year long, and is taught on the assumption that students have a statistical competence in multi-way analysis of variance, bivariate regression analysis, and basic non-parametric procedures. This includes demonstrated computational ability using the statistical package SPSS.
