"In this course, I formulated a question regarding the American electorate's attitude toward former Brazilian President Bolsanaro's campaign rhetoric. I was curious to see if Americans would see the similarities between him and former President Trump and how that would affect their responses. I was grateful for the opportunity to be part of a real political survey and for the chance to get some familiarity with R."

"I was encouraged to develop and apply my statistical skills towards answering a question regarding Americans' level of awareness of the January 6th committee. I was especially interested in understanding whether there existed partisan differences in knowledge of the committee, and whether support for President Trump was a predictor of such a question. I highly recommend the Survey Lab to any student who wants to ask their own real-world questions with national implications."

"In this course, I got the chance to research how reliant American citizens of different demographics were on social media platforms as their news sources. This survey lab allowed me to hone in on my coding and data analysis skills to analyze political survey responses with real-world implications. This course offers a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in the democratic process and how citizen attitudes affect public policies, perceptions, and behaviors."
