Seminar in Quantitative Methods

Catalog description

The Seminar in Quantitative Methods is designed to provide a seminar experience for graduate students in Psychology and related programs. Topics will vary by semester and instructor, but will be related to quantitative methods (e.g., research design, measurement, data analysis). Each section will provide an in-depth look at different topics in quantitative methods. Although the topics covered will vary across sections, all sections are focused on achieving the following goals: - To provide students with a broad theoretical understanding of the specific topics addressed in the seminar, - To provide students with the technical skills necessary to incorporate appropriate data analytic techniques into their research projects, and - To provide students with a cursory treatment of the mathematical foundations of these topics, so that interested students have the requisite background to pursue additional training in these areas.
