Assessment
and Goals:

Assessment: pre-assessment given early in course consists of conceptual and data analysis questions. Similar constructed post-course assessment will measure course progress Goals: learn statistical benefits of a designed experiment, implications of sample size, difference between crossed and nested factors, concept of interaction, guidelines for choosing approach for experiment

Rationale for
Changes or
Exceptions:

COURSE HELPS GIVE OUR CURRICULUM BALANCE IN THAT IT HAS A STRONGER EMPHASIS ON PRODUCTION OF QUALITY DATA THAN OTHER EXISTING COURSES. PROXIMITY TO USDA AND WCROC PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROJECTS AND CASE STUDIES OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM.
