SOAN 395 - Senior Seminar in Quantitative Analysis

Experiential Learning (EXP): Yes
Credits: 3

Prerequisite: SOAN 102 and Methods requirement for the Sociology and Anthropology major. In this course students will carry out independent research on anthropological or sociological topics that they identify and develop in consultation with their professor and while working alongside their peers. Projects completed under the auspices of this course will use (or mostly use) quantitative methods, generally the statistical analysis of experimental or observational data. Students will develop a question, select appropriate methods, ground their approach in an appropriate theoretical perspective from their discipline of concentration (anthropology or sociology), carry out, write up, and present their research.
