RES 3000 - Quantitative Research: Experimental and other designs


Quantitative research is a structured way of collecting and analyzing data to quantify a problem and understand its prevalence using computational, statistical, and mathematical tools to derive results that can be generalized to larger populations. This course provides an in-depth understanding of experimental and other quantitative designs and the practical skills necessary to design and conduct quantitative research.  Students identify how the theoretical and philosophical foundations of quantitative research align with their own philosophical orientations.  Quantitative research is reviewed and critiqued.  Students evaluate issues of research safety, ethics, and feasibility within their proposed research.   Finally, students design a research proposal that reflects their dissertation plan.
