Analytics Research and Problem Framing

Catalog description

Students in this course will explore the elements of the research process within quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches as it applies to research into data analytics and its use. The ethical principles and challenges of research will be covered including human-subject research guidelines and the Institutional Review Board approval process. Students will use these theoretical underpinnings to begin to critically review literature in the analytics domain, determine how research findings are useful in forming their understanding of their work, and place their own research within the context of the extant literature.
