Statistics Bridging Courses
Early in 2013 the Mathematics Learning Centre will offer short bridging courses for students planning to undertake programmes which require the study of statistics, such as Statistics and Research Methods for Psychology, and degrees/diplomas in Public Health or other postgraduate degrees.
These courses are designed for people who lack confidence when faced with mathematical tasks or as a refresher for people who want to brush up on basic mathematical skills. They may also be useful for students who have not studied Mathematics (2 Unit) at school. They are not appropriate for students who have at any time completed the higher levels of mathematics for the Higher School Certificate.
The courses aim to review the basic mathematics needs of students in a statistics course and to develop an intuitive understanding of some fundamental statistical concepts.
The program includes:
- use of a scientific calculator, including the use of statistical functions
- algebra, including the use of formulae and the solution of simple linear equations
- introduction to concepts in probability by means of practical activities
- ways of representing and summarising data including graphs, mean, standard deviation, correlation.
Cost:
$315 (inc. GST)
Fee includes cost of booklets and course materials.
