- Class Description:
- This course will introduce sociology majors to basic statistical measures and procedures that are used to describe and analyze quantitative data in sociological research. 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. Students will need a calculation for assignments and exams.
