Research Design and Optimization

Information Hub / Computational Media and Arts · 3 Credits

This course is for students who want to improve their skills in designing and optimizing research experiments. It focuses on helping students understand the difference between exploring new ideas and confirming what we already know. The course covers key concepts like how to plan experiments, test different variables, and find the best solutions using advanced techniques. Students will also learn both quantitative (numbers-based) and qualitative (observation-based) research methods, giving them a strong foundation for conducting experiments. Along with learning how to design experiments, students will get hands-on experience with statistical tools to analyze data and make informed decisions. By the end of the course, students will be confident in using these methods to solve real-world problems and improve processes in different areas of research.
