Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Generalized Linear Model GLM: A generalized linear framework for statistical analyses that underpins the unit’s approach.
  • Unit instructors: The teaching team for PSYU3349, including the Lecturer & Convenor and Co-Convenor who oversee instruction and coordination.
  • Unit schedule by weeks: A week-by-week progression that pairs readings with topics leading from regression basics toward broader regression-related methods.
  • Live lectures and Echo360: A delivery setup where lectures run in person, are live-streamed, and are later available as video recordings via Echo360.
