This course is designed to help graduate students learn the skills necessary to design and conduct social research. Additionally, it provides training in analysing quantitative data using SPSS Software. The course requires basic computer skills and a working knowledge of statistics. The methods portion of the course focuses primarily on quantitative methods but will also cover qualitative approaches. Measurement, questionnaire design, and sampling will be examined in detail. The SPSS portion of the course is actually an extension of the methods section, as students will design and field a short survey. The data collected from the survey will be used for the SPSS data analysis.
