The Research logic part of the course will make students familiar with the research process and the various steps involved in that process. They are prepared to structure their own research projects (seminar paper & master thesis). The Statistical Methods part of the course will enable students to handle basic statistical measurements such as percentages, averages and spreads. They are also enabled to describe a given quantitative data set with appropriate statistical methods and to carry out necessary calculations. Some basics concerning the design and validation of statistical charts and tables are mastered. Furthermore, the students are able to formulate statistical hypotheses about the relationships between variables and check them.
