Course Title: BIOL 596: Meta-analysis for life science

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Shinichi Nakagawa

Course description

BIOL 596 introduces meta-analysis and research synthesis through discussions and hands-on exercises. Over the course of one semester, students will explore key concepts, practise meta-analytic methods, and learn to interpret findings and assess publication bias. The emphasis is on understanding and applying methods through exercises, rather than completing a full meta-analysis project. Assessment consists of discussion contributions, presentations, and a small project.

Enrolment in this course is limited; prior exposure to statistical & experimental design courses is a prerequisite.
