Course Overview
This course teaches participants how to plan and conduct
experiments in an effective and efficient manner.
Participants gain the fundamental knowledge necessary to
design effective experiments, analyze the results, and
avoid the common mis-applications in practice. Knowledge
of basic algebra is helpful.
