We have to be able to understand the math we use (stats) We just have to understand the theory to be able to apply them as tool. How stats are used as tools of research. How to effectively design and implement a research question to obtain practical answers. To become a better consumer of research information in general. 50% lecture, 50% lab: must pass both independently. Lab: a number of components cumulating in a final apa6 style research report.
