These could be knowledge, skills, or attitudes related to the course topic or related to your abilities as a student, or other relevant learning for you professionally or personally that resulted from your participation in this course.
• What is the significance of health informatics and public health as supporting disciplines to each other?
• Describe when you would use and compute common descriptive statistics.
• Describe different concepts and reasoning strategies you learned from the course.

• Discuss why testing the means between related groups and factorial analysis of variance could be used in health care research.
