Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course presents the principles of obtaining and analyzing representative quantitative data in biology, with focus on elementary (univariate) statistical methods. Covered procedures include the t-test, ANOVA, analysis of contingency tables, correlation methods, and ordinary least-squares linear regression analysis. Wherever appropriate, rank-based alternatives to 'classical' frequentist test approaches are presented for comparison.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written test (duration: 1 h).

First test date: planned for 31st January 2019, location: probably HS 1 & HS 2, UZA 1.

Further test dates (beginning, middle and end of summer term 2017) will be announced successively.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

50 % of points (maximum possible: 25 points) are required to pass the exam. Exam consists of multiple-choice part (19 questions; maximum: 19 points) and three questions where text items need to be filled out in writing (maximum: 6 points).

Examination topics
