GraphPad Prism - Graph Creation

This one-day-course emphasizes the graphical features of GraphPad Prism. This course does not focus on any statistical details, only a few simple descriptive statistics (average, standard deviation, standard error) will be calculated using Graphpad Prism. This course is also used as an introduction of Graphpad Prism, thus other, more statistical, courses will built on it.

Software and Course material are especially focusing the needs in life sciences.
