This laboratory course in quantitative methods is designed to develop student skills by providing additional opportunities to engage in data analytic techniques. Statistical operations learned in Introduction to Quantitative Methods in Social Science research are placed in a real life context; students will learn to apply empirical methods to solve problems in a variety of industrial, educational and managerial situations. As such this laboratory course focuses on the application of descriptive and inferential statistical procedures to quantitative methodologies (e.g. T-test and ANOVA) using statistical software (e.g. SPSS and MS Excel).
