On completion of this course, the students will be able to: CO51: Demonstrate ability to plan simple experiments and state its requirements. Also, to develop awareness of the critical components of experimental design and its conduction. CO52: Evaluate competing causal explanations through experimental designs. CO53: Evaluate hypotheses for consistency with scientific methods and results. CO54: Evaluate the appropriateness of scientific procedures for investigating a question of Causation and appropriateness of statistical procedures for a given hypothesis and data set. CO55: Apply research design concepts to novel contexts. |
