PSYC - 8549 Advanced Research Seminar (3)

Advanced study of both quantitative and qualitative research design in the social sciences. Emphasis is placed on the explicit statement of a research hypothesis, the relation of the research design to both the hypothesis and the proposed statistical analyses; and the limitations that the design placed on the conclusions that can be drawn from the data. Topics include experimental design, quasi-experimental design, case study research, time-series analyses, and observational studies. Equivalent to PSYC-849. Prerequisites: take PSYC-4750, STAT-4720.
