Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
In 2023 the topic of this course is Statistical consulting
Overview
This course introduces the students to statistical consulting. It illustrates how to use the R language to analyse research data and communicate this with the domain expert that provided the dataset. It will also teach the best practice for managing a research project.
Prerequisites
The third year courses Statistical Modelling III and Data Science III, or equivalent.
Students should also be familiar with R, RStudio and Quarto.
Learning Outcomes
1. The students will learn some of the key statistical theory for dealing with real research data, for example
experimental design, survey design and analysis, sample size calculation based on power and simulation, and analysing repeated measures data.
2. The students will be taught best practice for project management of a research collaboration.
3. The students will have completed a full collaboration analysis from original raw data through to a completed project with a IMRaD paper. 4. The IMRaD form is the standard form for a scientific research paper. It represents Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Each week will require reading of online notes prior to attending a class session. These sessions will explore a mixture of mathematical theory and implementation and notes for these sessions will be provided on MyUni.
The class size is typically small and you will be encouraged to ask questions and contribute to the discussion.
You will be asked to peer review work from your classmates if the class size is large enough.Workload

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
