SOAN 381 - Data Analysis and Reporting in Sociology/Anthropology

This is the third course in the integrated methods and theory sequence at the core of the Sociology/Anthropology major. Students will learn the analytical techniques needed to complete the research projects they proposed at the end of SOAN 380 - Research Design course. At the conclusion of the term students are expected to present the results of their research in written format. Analytical analysis techniques covered range from descriptive univariate statistics, to bivariate tests of significance, correlations, and regression. Students will also learn to manage data and conduct analyses by use of a computer-based statistical program. As a Writing-Enhanced course, drafts of student research reports will be turned in throughout the semester and revised into a final professional-grade paper.
