The topics include (1) displays of frequency and percentage distributions, (2) measures of central tendency and dispersion, (3) measures of association and correlation, (4) bivariate regression, and (5) basics about probability and statistical inference. Lectures on these topics will be given in class meetings, and lab exercises are designed to help students learn statistical skills needed to analyze quantitative data provided in the class. In addition to attendance to lectures and labs, students are expected to read 15-20 pages of the text per week. There will be a midterm exam and a final exam.

- Class Notes:
- (sociology majors have priority registration for reserved seats through 11/20/2012)
- Class Description:
- This course is designed to familiarize students with fundamental statistical concepts and techniques. Because this is a sociology course, most of the examples and demonstrations will be drawn from the social sciences; however, the concepts and techniques presented in the course apply much more broadly to other disciplines and to other arenas of life. Students should come away from the course with an understanding of how statistics can be used to address key social science questions. I expect students will leave the course as knowledgeable and critical consumers of statistical information that appears in the media and elsewhere.
