The Centre offers short courses to its research students. These include a Multivariate Primer course and Experimental design and statistics course. Both courses run each year except when enrollments are too low.
Current Courses
Primer workshop
Three day multivariate (PRIMER) workshop runs on the Gold Coast mid July each year. The estimated cost for the three days is $200 (includes all food/tea/coffee, lecture/workshop handouts, example datasets, and the use of the PRIMER program). Members of other research centres may be able to approach their centre directors for help with the cost of this workshop.
Experimental design and statistics
Postgraduate course in Experimental design and statistics runs late February to early March each year. The course is available to honours students, higher degree students and external students from industry. It is a two week intensive course (9am-5pm, Monday-Friday) held at Griffith University, Gold Coast Campus. No prior knowledge in statistics is necessary.
The primary purpose of this course is to provide a firm basis in experimental design and an understanding of the philosophy of statistics that will allow students to apply these elements to their own research. It gives students practice in understanding statistics and experimental design (using computer exercises on data they collect) that allows them to critically review the literature relevant to their area of research. In the final 3 days of the course students apply concepts of experimental design to their own research projects.
Enrollment costs are approximately $970 (normal fee for a 10 credit point course) and include the textbook used in the course. A maximum of 20 students are allowed and enrollment is on a first come first serve basis.
