SOC B1003 Analyzing Evidence 1

This course introduces the science and craft of social research. Partly this is a class about the scientific method, partly this is about learning the basic statistics that sociologists most often use, but there will also be an emphasis on doing research, and learning the tricks and traps of the trade. We will focus on learning quantitative research methods and survey design, but will also discuss experiments and qualitative research.
