Course Description:
Methods of data analysis and conclusion formation through application of statistical techniques. Introduction to applied statistics as employed in sociology with emphasis on skill development in the use of data processing techniques and SPSS, the computer statistical package commonly employed by contemporary sociologists in the full range of research settings. Because SOCI 220 integrates the learning of statistics with SPSS software in a setting where research questions and statistical interpretation are framed within a sociological perspective, students may not substitute IDTH 220 for SOCI 220. Students interested in graduate study in the social sciences are strongly to take IDTH 220 after first completing SOCI 220. Prerequisite: SOCI 210
