AHS6009Advanced Quantitative Research Methods3 ch
This course will expose students to a variety of more advanced quantitative and statistical approaches to research methodology. The two main purposes of the course are to provide students with the tools to conduct advanced quantitative empirical research, and to provide the opportunity to develop their ability to critically evaluate the work of others. Students will learn to examine issues and develop research strategies to begin to identify and answer the important topics that need to be researched; students will design a realistic appraisal of what can be achieved and what cannot, given resource constraints.
