ANSO 261-01, Research Methods, Fall 2006

Abstract

This is the first in the Anthropology-Sociology two-course sequence in Research Methods. This course provides a general introduction to the research process by addressing issues on research design, data collection, and basic analysis of data and interpretation of results. We will focus on two methodological approaches, surveys and in-depth interviews. During this course, students will read materials describing and employing these methods; practice conducting social research; and do presentations and write papers on consuming, conducting, and critiquing social research.
