4. Rationale for the inclusion of the course/module in the programme: Ensure students understand various mathematical principals and calculations involed in laboratory procedures and analysis. tudents !ould also "ain #no!led"e in statistical concepts$ %uality control and calculations involved in laboratory methods in order to produce accurate results in laboratory analysis. &nly !ith this #no!led"e$ the students can appreciate the %uantitative nature o' laboratory results in laboratory sub(ects. ).
