2. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course involves the basic principles of research design and procedures include design
of the data analysis techniques. The focuses of these courses are the design and procedure
analysis in descriptive or non experimental research and experimental research. The kind of
the experimental research design was focused on single experimental design. This design
involves on completely random design, randomized completely block design, latin square
design, and covariance design.
3. Course Benefit
Gives student know-ledges and skills about research principles and procedure in biology,
involves a descriptive/non experimental and the experimental design and procedures on
single factors experiment include analytical technique, so that the student will be able to
make correct conclusion and precise for the biological problems were studied.
4. Competencies
At the end of the course, you should be able to:
a. Identify the principles of descriptive or non experimental research design and construct
the procedures, include select the data analysis technique.
b. Identify the principles of experimental design on the single factor experiment and
construct the procedures, include select the data analysis technique. This design includes
the completely randomized design, randomized completely block design, latin square
design, and covariance design).
