"Recommended Prerequisites\nBefore taking this module it is advised that you should have passed:\nor 2 of Level 8 modules in Bio/Env/Geog\nGEO1PE\nBIO1CB\nENV1GE\nBIO2IP\nGEO2EI\nENV2LE\nor 2 of Level 8 modules in Bio/Env/Geog\nLandscape Evolution (ENVU2LV)\nPeople and the Environment (GEOU1PP)\nGlobal Environmental Issues (GEOU2GE)\nIntroduction to Cell Biology (BIOU1CE)\nBuilding Planet Earth (ENVU1BP)\nIntroduction to Physiology (BIOU2PH)\nProhibited Combinations\nYou may not take this module if you have previously passed:\nStatistical Techniques (SCI4T4)\nModule Description\nStatistical techniques are fundamental for addressing quantitative questions and making inferences from data. Consequently, statistical tools are indispensable for addressing questions across the natural and social sciences. \n\nIn this module, you’ll learn the following important skills for working with environmental and biological datasets: \n\nHow to manipulate datasets and characterise their statistical properties. \nUnderstanding and applying null hypothesis testing. \nApplying the correct statistical test to data using statistical software. \nInterpreting the results of statistical tests to make conclusions about scientific problems. \nBy developing an understanding of statistics, you will become better able to critically evaluate the scientific literature and conduct scientific research. Because literacy in statistics and a proficiency in using statistical software is critical for addressing all data-driven investigations, the skills that you learn in this module will be broadly relevant to solving a broad range of important problems. The UN has defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which set out the world's roadmap to ending poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting the planet by 2030. Addressing any of these SDGs will rely on some data collection and analysis, meaning that the skills you learn in this module are potentially relevant for all of them. \n\nLocation/Method of Study\nStirling/On Campus, UK\nStirling\n\nModule Objectives\nThis module is designed to familiarise you with:Statistical analysis and associated computing software to implement it.Hypothesis testing.Basic statistical techniques that are used in analysing data.Applications of statistical techniques to a range of environmental and biological data sets and problems.Describing and reporting statistical analysis in report writingAnswering unseen questions about statistical problems in a time-limited context\n\nAdditional Costs\nThere are no additional costs associated with this Module.\n\nCore Learning Outcomes\nOn successful completion of the module, you should be able to:\n\nmanipulate datasets and characterise their statistical properties;\ndemonstrate an understanding of null hypothesis testing;\nchoose and apply the correct statistical test to unseen data using statistical software;\ninterpret the results of statistical tests in order to generate conclusive statements on scientific problems.\nIntroductory Reading and Preparatory Work\nLab workbook: http://bradduthie.github.io/SCIU4T4\n\nDelivery\nDirected Study\t15 hours\tLarge group presentation or talk on a particular topic\nDirected Study\t33 hours\tA session involving the development and practical application of a particular skill or technique\nDirected Study\t36 hours\tA meeting involving one-to-one or small group supervision, feedback or detailed discussion on a particular topic or project, online or in person\nDirected Study\t24 hours\tAssessment activity that takes place within a scheduled session, usually conducted under some form of examination or test conditions\nTotal Study Time\t200 hours\t\nAttendance Requirements\nYour engagement with learning materials and activities and attendance at scheduled live sessions and other events is extremely important. Full engagement in your studies will enable you to get the most out of the course and help you perform at your best when it comes to assessment.\n\nWe expect you to engage with all aspects of this module and with your programme of study. You should:\n\n· Engage with all module materials, activities, and online timetabled teaching sessions\n· Actively participate in discussions and practical activities\n· Prepare in advance of live sessions by undertaking the required reading and/or other forms of preparation\n· Submit coursework/assessments by the due time and date\n· Complete class tests and examinations at the specified time and date\n· Make your module co-ordinator aware at the earliest opportunity if you experience problems which may impact on your engagement\n· Inform the University of absence from study (planned or unplanned), e.g. illness, emergency as outlined at http://www.stir.ac.uk/registry/studentinformation/absence\n· Respond to e-mails from your personal tutor, module co-ordinator or programme director and attend meetings if requested.\n· Engage with in-sessional English language classes (if applicable)\nWe will monitor these aspects throughout each semester to check that you are fully participating and that you are coping well with your studies. Some activities may be prescribed, failure to engage with 2/3 of prescribed activities will result in your module grade being capped at the pass mark (40 for Undergraduate modules, 50 for Postgraduate modules).\n\nAssessment\n% of final\ngrade\tLearning\nOutcomes\nClass Test\t0\t1\nClass Test\t25\t2\nClass Test\t25\t2\nExam (Canvas - on campus)\t50\t1,2,3,4\nCoursework: 50%\nExamination: 50%\n\n\nMore information at: https://portal.stir.ac.uk/calendar/calendar.jsp?modCode=SCIU4T4&_gl=1*1l7ziqq*_ga*MTY1OTcwNzEyMS4xNjkyMDM2NjY3*_ga_ENJQ0W7S1M*MTY5MjAzNjY2Ny4xLjEuMTY5MjAzNzg0My4wLjAuMA.." . .

"Environmental Geography is an integrated four-year degree course that provides you with training across the spectrum of the subject. We emphasise research-led and experience-based approaches to understanding the complex relationships between people and the planet. With an international context, the course is designed to give you essential skills in critical thinking and reasoning, fieldwork, laboratory work, statistics and geospatial analysis.\n\nSemesters 1-2 focus on the building of planet Earth and the surface processes responsible for the evolution of our landscape. Alongside these core earth-science modules you'll be introduced to how people interact with the environment and the most pressing human-environment issues of the 21st century – including global warming, water resources, pollution and biodiversity loss.\n\nIn Semesters 3-4, the emphasis is on field skills, biogeography and environmental resilience, including the essential systems of nutrient cycling for sustaining life on Earth.\n\nIn Semesters 5-6, research-led teaching provides a wide range of advanced modules that include themes of sustainable environmental resources, palaeo-environments, earth-surface processes and advanced geospatial techniques including remote sensing and GIS. You'll also learn about sustainable development issues and there is a choice of skills-centred field courses in Year 3.\n\nIn your final year you'll develop and apply your research skills through your Honours research project. You'll be closely supported by your academic supervisor and can actively participate in national and international research programmes. In doing so, you can take full advantage of the wider geographical research community at the University."@en . . . "4"@en . "FALSE" . . "Bachelor"@en . "Thesis" .
