Hi
Thanks I'll look that one up. Yes I do mean three hours for one particular
course-which says a lot about how much the research course designers think
about stats. I have 6 six hours on other courses. Also most of the students
are not very numerate. Most are studying for BSc'c and MSc's. I may be
wrong but I do feel scientists need some basic understanding of the
scientific approach and stats.
