WFB 8550 - Analysis and Comm in Ecology

Institution:

Clemson University

Subject:

Wildlife and Fish Biology

Description:

Effective researchers need a variety of skills: designing effective studies, identifying and performing appropriate analyses, and communicating results to a diversity of audiences. This course covers some of the more common (or emerging) statistical tools that ecologists use to understand nature. Students gain practical experience in using these tools to apply them to their graduate research. Each week, students hone their scientific communication skills by writing about their methods and results in the style of scientific peer review. Students develop non-technical communication skills through a midterm scientific communication project, and apply all these skills to a final project based on their thesis/dissertation project. Students should have completed at least one statistics-based course prior to enrollment. May also be offered as FOR 8550.
