Non-traditional Quantitative Techniques in Soil and Related Sciences

3 cr · Graduate

Students will gain an understanding of the basis, mechanics, and applicability of various established, emerging, and innovative non-traditional quantitative techniques and will have the opportunity to apply these techniques to datasets they bring from real experiments in the soil sciences and the agricultural and food sciences. Instruction will be using SAS software, but students can use programs of their choice. The critique of journal papers will emphasize the design and analysis procedures covered in the course, as applied to soil and related research.
