Learning outcomes
Student
- have a command of physical laws and phenomena sufficiently to enable them to understand the physical operating principles of the most common methods and devices used in laboratory work
- perform basic calculations and apply these to biomedical laboratory work, convert units, solve equations, and identify and describe mathematical dependencies.
- draw conclusions from distributions, use spreadsheet software to calculate and analyse statistical parameters and correlation between variables, and interpret and assess statistical reports in laboratory work
Content
