Description:
A statistics module that is a follow-up of HP1100. A bit of research design content will also be covered.
One good thing about this module is that textbooks are not needed (the recommended texts are the textbooks used in HP1100). The exam questions will be set according to the lecture notes. The content in the lecture notes is quite different from that in the recommended texts, so it is very important to understand the lecture notes.
Do attend lectures as you will need to understand what the lecture notes mean. Lecturer goes pretty fast so it is very important to be attentive.
Tutorials involve going through of tutorial worksheets, which are to be done before tutorials, and going through SPSS. You do need to attend tutorials to learn SPSS, which will be required in the Group Project.
Group Project involves analysing of cases using data given. SPSS is required! Group members can be from different tutorial classes. You have to submit a report, but there will be no presentations.
For the exams, format may vary. But lecturer emphasises a lot on understanding of content. Do work on your tutorials as exam questions may be of similar format. Formulae sheet will be given. Exam questions may require you to answer based on SPSS output so make sure you are able to read them.
