The online STAT 59800 Introduction to Experimental Design is a new course that will be offered for the first time in Maymester 2010. It was created with the goal of presenting a conceptual understanding of important experimental design principles, specifically targeting graduate students in Life Sciences, Social Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences. This course was deemed to provide a good educational resource for distance education students in the areas of: course design, innovation, effective use of technology tools, assessment of student learning, course content and learner support.
