MAS6010   Topics in Data Analysis   (10 credits)

Description

The module aims to help students develop practical statistical skills - in data-analysis, in the use of different modes of communication and in group work and consultancy. The module is organised around projects drawn from practical statistical experience in a variety of application areas. Work on some projects is undertaken individually, and some in groups. Students¿ work is presented in both written and oral form, with guidance from tutors. Round-table and electronic discussions of issues raised by projects and the work on them form an intrinsic part of the learning. Role-play forms a part of one of the projects.
