SCIE20001 - Thinking Scientifically Notes

Description

This is a comprehensive compilation of information from SCIE20001 lectures, the textbook, tutorials, practicals, workshops, problem booklets and other useful sources I found online to aid my study. Each section (particularly the harder concepts) is supported by easy to read and understand dot points, diagrams, pictures and thorough example exam-style questions. Topics included are: 1. Science communication (blog writing, scientific inquiry). 2. Observation (importance of observation in science) 3. Data analysis (summary statistics, graphics, variation, confidence intervals, p-values) 4. Logic in science 5. Argument in science (argument mapping) 6. Media in science (misinterpretation of trials, importance of analysis and peer review)
