Scientific Methods

Scientific Methods are systematic procedures and techniques used in the investigation of phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. Coursera's Scientific Methods catalogue teaches you the fundamental principles and processes of the scientific method. You'll learn how to formulate hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and draw valid conclusions. You'll also understand the ethical considerations in scientific research and how to communicate your findings effectively. This skill is essential for researchers, scientists, students, and anyone interested in understanding how scientific knowledge is generated and validated.
