What You'll Learn
SOC321 Research Design and Methods is an intermediate undergraduate sociological research course. It is designed to teach students the skills necessary to design and implement a research project and to assess the soundness of research. It does not assume any prior knowledge of statistical methods. The course incorporates both reading materials, case studies, and hands-on practice in research design. After introducing students to the elements of research design, the course will ask students to put into practice methodological thinking by starting their own sociological research project and trying out data collection methods on a small scale.
