According to Jonathan Rosenberg, former senior vice president
of Google, Data is the sword of the 21st century, those who
wield it well, the Samurai. In recent decades, survey data
have become powerful swords that inform government policy
making, business and nonprofit decision-making, political
campaigns, legal decisions, and academic research in many
fields of study. This course will give you the skills that
you will need to harness the power of surveys: How do I
select a sample? How do I design survey questions? How do I
collect the data? As part of the class, students will be
exposed to many real world survey examples. This is a
rigorous, upper-level undergraduate class designed for those
with an interest in research methods.
