Introducing quantitative research - critical appraisal of research articles In-Person

This session highlights the key elements of statistics to help us understand articles that are commonly used as part of the research journey. We will summarise descriptive statistics and inferential statistics and explore critical understanding and appraisal of research articles, with an aim to demystify the jargon that is often a barrier to both the understanding and carrying out of quantitative research. 
Speaker: Dr. Philip Dee, Academic Development Department (ADD), Faculty of HELS
Philip has worked at BCU for nearly 20 years and in that time has evolved his support role to include research and statistics. He has a PhD in Nuclear Physics and during his time at BCU has ‘translated’ his research knowledge in order to offer support in the faculty of HELS to research-active staff and students and is currently an active supervisor up to PhD level. To consolidate his research skills, Philip has recently completed a degree with the Open University in ‘Mathematics and Statistics’ and is a member of the Royal Statistics Society (RSS). He maintains a YouTube channel which supports many aspects of academic support, numeracy and statistics.
