Average Course Rating

This course is designed as an introduction to basic descriptive and inferential statistics, with a focus on how they are used in education research. Topics will include the summary and analysis of data using graphs, measure of central tendency, correlation, regression, t-tests (independent and dependent), and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Students will apply this knowledge to a series of problem sets that ask them to think about research problems in education, and conduct their own analysis of an educational or other social science problem in a research paper that involves conducting a bivariate analysis and discussing their results.
