CO57: Demonstrate ability to plan simple experiments and develop awareness of the critical components of experimental design and its conduction. CO58: Evaluate competing causal explanations through experimental designs. CO59: Appraise hypotheses formulation for consistency with scientific methods and results. CO60: Evaluate the appropriateness of scientific procedures for investigating a question of Causation and appropriateness of statistical procedures for a given hypothesis and data set. CO61: Apply research design concepts to novel contexts. CO62: Contribute effectively in course-specific interactions. |
