dot org COURSE DESCRIPTION: BIOST/STAT111
is a one-credit (C/NC) lecture series designed to introduce undergraduate
students to careers in Biostatistics and Statistics. Selected topics will be
presented by faculty Biostatisticians, Statisticians and Research Scientists.
Some will lead you in activities designed to teach biostatistical
or statistical concepts. Others will describe a research area where they have
worked to solve a scientific or other problem. The lectures are intended to
provide an overview of the varied nature of the field. COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By the
end of the course students should be able to list, describe and discuss
current issues and approaches to research and practice in
Biostatistics/Statistics. COURSE GRADING: There
are ten lectures/sessions of BIOST/STAT111. To receive credit, the student
must attend at least nine of these sessions and satisfactorily complete a
quiz for each of these lectures. QUIZ: Handouts
containing three questions about the lecture will be distributed each week in
class after the lecture. Students will
have approximately 10-15 minutes to satisfactorily answer the questions and
submit them to the instructor at the end of class to receive credit for that
lecture. Handouts
will be graded on a + / - basis: + for satisfactory work and – for
unsatisfactory work. COURSE WEBSITE: Class

You need a valid UW username/password to access the course website.)
