Course description
Students undertake one or more projects, usually under the supervision of an experienced biostatistician, in order to gain practical experience in the application and knowledge and skills learnt in the coursework components of the M Biostatistics or M Sc(Statistics) program. Typically the projects will involve the student acting as a statistical consultant in a research team so that they gain additional experience in communication and teamwork. Assessment is based on a portfolio comprising a reflective preface and brief reports on each project. The amount of work expected is equivalent to 2 x #2 unit courses.
