ANSO 261-01, Research Methods, Fall 2004

Abstract

This is the first class in the Anthropology-Sociology two-course sequence in Research Methods. The course provides a general introduction to the research process by addressing research design, ethics, data collection, basic analysis of data, and interpretation of results. The methods we will focus on are surveys and in-depth interviews. During the semester, students will read materials describing and employing these methods; design and conduct social research using the methods; analyze the research results; and write reports on this process.
