Research Design and Data Analysis II

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

This course is an applied statistics course in public policy. Students will learn to mine and tame datasets to address research questions. Our concern will be with the application of certain statistical techniques, not their mathematical derivation or theoretical underpinnings. We will break the class into subsections where we will begin with a set of research questions regarding K-12 education policy, higher education or other topic. Students will use datasets to analyze and understand the research question. [3]
