| The course is divided in two parts: |
First Part: |
| It comprises 2 e-modules: Descriptive Statistics and Hypothesis Testing. Each module contains a theoretical session and an SPSS demo. In the theoretical session basic statistical concepts will be presented, while in the SPSS demo students will be introduced to basic data analysis skills using the SPSS software. |
| There will be 2 Practical exercises which will require students to download some data and then perform a basic data analysis using SPSS. |
| There is a formative exam (not compulsory) which is available. Students are strongly encouraged to take this exam as its format resembles the final exam. Note that the mark in this exam will not affect in any way the final mark. |
| Second Part: |
| The second part comprises of an e-module 'Evidence Based Medicine'. The scope of the e-learning module is to develop critical appraisal skills. It consists of 10 exercises in which students are presented with abstracts or parts of articles from the medical literature and are asked some questions about them. It is fundamental that the students take this module as critical appraisal skills will be part of the final examinations. Lecture slides will be made available through Blackboard. |
| Discussion Boards: |
| Two discussion boards have been created, titled Descriptive Statistics and Hypothesis Testing, and they have been linked to the corresponding modules. Students are strongly encouraged to post on the discussion boards any question related to course material. Please note that these discussion boards are anonymous, however students are encouraged to identify themselves. Participation to discussion boards will not affect the final mark. The discussion boards will be checked periodically. |
