Topic

The medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological sciences and research methodologies increasingly rely on the use and management of databases and the tools of descriptive and inferential statistics. The course provides overviews about the basics and applications of database management and statistical software packages and support. The Students can get experience and practical skills by solving software-based exercises and problem solving (e.g., Microsoft Excel, RStudio, GPower, Microcal Origin, Minitab). Special emphasis is laid on the application of modern teaching methods (flipped learning, thematic student presentations, and projects, discussion of the Students’ research results, and case studies) in order to provide students with the knowledge, understanding, and hands-on experience in database management and in the mathematical and software toolkit of statistical analysis. The course provides an opportunity to acquire basic mathematical, computer science, and statistical skills that can be helpful in other natural sciences, as well as in preparing diploma work, thesis, or other scientific presentations.
