Survey data provide valuable information for the study of public opinion and behavior, and they are commonly used in several fields, such as elections, public policy, economics, and education. This course will teach students the fundamental skills necessary to design, implement, and analyze survey data. By the end of the course, students should be able to design and conduct an original survey. This course does not assume any prior knowledge of statistical methods. The classes incorporate both reading material and hands-on practice in survey design. The course format will include lectures, discussions, hands-on exercises, and a final project. For the final project, students will develop a survey research plan on a topic of their own choosing that will be developed throughout the classes.
