Skills

Concepts Principles and Theories

  • Working familiarity with terms including different types of graph/visualisation, trendlines, mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, scientific precision and accuracy, % CV and more
  • Applying this familiarity to answer a range of questions in biomedical contexts

Manipulating and Presenting Data

  • Exploring how scientific data can be represented in different ways e.g via text, tables and visualisations. How to make high-quality scientific graphs
  • Finding fundamental statistics from biomedical datasets, and calculating scientific precision and accuracy

Interpreting and Analysing Data

  • Making use of numerical data and text information from a biomedical lab scenario
  • Using the skills learned throughout the sheet to interpret and analyse this data
