Citizen Data Science Workshop 2: Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Have a dataset you have no idea how to handle? Want to improve the design of your study? Simply just want to learn something new? Come to a Citizen Data Science Workshop! This is the second workshop in the six-part Citizen Data Science series, but you do not have to have attended prior workshops to attend this one. We will be covering the basics of statistical analysis using Google Sheets. This workshop will discuss Quality Assurance/Quality Control methods for data you are collecting in the field. Some techniques covered will include developing study protocols, creating QA standards for samples in the lab, understanding sampling instrument sensitivity, and doing basic data validation within databases. We will do some lecture, do a basic example within your spreadsheet application of choice, and review the EPA QAPP guidelines. Please bring a laptop. The workshop is free with the $6 entrance fee. Registration required. For questions call 410-222-8006 or email rpcoyn24@aacounty.org.
