The Data Analysis Advice Program will be running in 2026 and supports Science Extension students via online webinars covering method design, data collection and statistical analysis, along with targeted support for students needing assistance with data analysis.
The next online lecture is taking place:
This online session will cover topics including (but not limited to): the difference between primary, secondary and meta investigations, types of data, collecting valid and reliable data, and understanding the assumptions of statistical analysis techniques, in accordance with the syllabus.
These sessions make up the third and final part of the data analysis advice series run by the University of Sydney for HSC Science Extension students. The Faculty of Science presents these free after school sessions where individual HSC Science Extension high school students from NSW can sign-up to hear from tutoring data scientists from the University of Sydney. Students will book into a half hour time slot with a small number of other students so that they can get personalised advice and recommendations for their own investigation data.
