    Estimated Time / Time Management

    Approximately one class period. Time can be managed by eliminating the "Study Design Assessment" in slides 77-106.


    Look For Students To:

    Correctly identify different study designs: controlled trial, cohort study, case-control study, and cross-sectional study.

    Accurately describe the different study designs to someone else.

    Identify characteristics of each study design that distinguish it from the others.
