Research Skills

Aims of the course: Basic grounding in research skills - designing questionnaires and experiments data analysis using statistics and SPSS writing up studies using standard presentation conventions

Outline of this course: Autumn term: Issues in designing questionnaires and experiments. Descriptive statistics - effective summarising of data. The logic behind statistical tests. Statistical tests (correlation and Chi-Square). Using SPSS ("Statistical Package for the Social Sciences") for data analysis and Excel for producing graphs and tables. Using Powerpoint for “slide-shows” like this, for use in oral presentations.

Spring term: More statistical theory. More statistical tests. Practice at running experiments and writing them up. Summer term: Ethics. Endnote (software for organising references and producing reference lists). How to decide which statistical test is most appropriate to use. Revision for the exam...

Course organisation for autumn term: Two lectures and one practical session every week. (Lectures: Mondays at 1 pm, Fridays at 4 pm in Chichester Lecture Theatre). Practical sessions - details on Sussex Direct.

Course requirements: Autumn term: Lab report and Powerpoint presentation) 10% (7%, 3%) Spring and summer terms: 3 lab-reports 30% (10% each) All three terms: Research participation (eight hours) 10% (c) Summer term: Unseen open-book exam 50% Assessment is by a mixture of coursework and exam:

This term's course requirements (worth 10% of overall mark for RM1): 1. Design a questionnaire on one of a variety of set topics: e.g. Smoking, Drinking, Exercising, Driving. 2.
