SOC 302 - Research Design

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): SOC 301.
Building on the research methods students learn in SOC 301, students will identify some aspect of society they think needs further research and then propose a research question and an achievable research design to answer that question. This will include choosing a method, identifying a domain and sample, constructing measurement instruments, securing site permission, and so on. This is intended to be a design that students can carry out in the senior Research Project course in order to produce publishable research.
