HLSC41-140: Research Analysis and Communication

The successful conduct of research requires advanced abilities in analysis and interpretation of data, critical thinking, and written and oral presentation. This subject, along with the skills developed in the subject "Research Preparation and Design," supports Health Sciences Honours students as they progress into their Honours program. A thorough coverage of mathematical and statistical procedures required to support both the project design and data analysis will be provided. Parametric and non-parametric statistical methods will be examined, including t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, and regression. Workshops will actively develop students' skills in a variety of communication formats, including the writing of discipline-specific journal articles, short abstracts, and funding proposals. Students will also participate in regular presentation sessions, including oral and poster presentations.
