| ENSC 345 - ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH DESIGN & STATISTICS |
|
This course is designed to introduce students to research approaches and statistical methods that are commonly used by environmental scientists and field biologists. A wide variety of research designs (e.g., completely randomized, randomized block, continuous, tabular), descriptive statistics (central tendency, variability, distribution), and parametric and nonparametric hypothesis tests (chi-square, contingency table, paired sample, unpaired sample, multiple sample, correlation, regression) are examined. Real examples from the literature are discussed, and students collect, analyze and interpret their own data for each statistical anslysis. Proficiency in reading and preparing scientific graphs is also emphasied. ENSC 345 Ecological Research Design and Statistics can be used to fulfill one of the math requirements for the biology major, and is a required course for the Environmental Science major.
