科目名 Theme Studies  Understanding the Social Sciences
担当教員 Kramer, Brandon
授業の目的、または到達目標 To introduce and explore the theories and techniques required in order to collect good survey data. Students will learn about basic methods of survey creation, data collection, and data analysis, as well as how to critically look at results and “facts” presented in current media and advertising.

Learning Goals:
* can perform and explain the core descriptive statistics underlying data analysis within the social sciences
* can critically interpret data presented in current topics and advertising
* can create a survey and analyze the quantitative and qualitative data collected from it
授業の概要 This course will cover the basic procedures for survey creation, data collection, and data analysis in the social sciences. Some elementary techniques and concepts will be introduced, with ample time for practice and implementation using real data. While this knowledge is developing, students will practice critical interpretation of data presented in current topics and advertising. Finally, students will be able to create their own instruments and collect original data, which they will analyze and present.

準備学習 Class will be conducted assuming that all students have completed all assigned materials. Students must do the assigned modules, tasks, and readings before class, and prepare for weekly discussions. Readings and homework must be completed before class. Response and reflection papers will be based on work done in class and must be completed alone. Out-of-class assignments should take at least 2 to 3 hours for every hour in class, so students should manage their time accordingly.

A detailed syllabus will be provided in the first class. Any changes to this syllabus will be announced at that time.
教科書 Free readings and sources of online learning will be utilized, and additional notes and activities will be provided.
参考文献 Additional learning resources will be used in this class and provided for students to watch or read and try to understand. These materials will be difficult, and students will be expected to be proactive if they are unable to comprehend these resources and ask for help from fellow students or the teacher to understand the material.
成績評価方法・基準 Evaluation is based on the following categories:
*Class work & quizzes: 40% (includes in-class work, homework, presentations, quizzes, discussions);
*Research presentation(s): 20%;
*Written summary & reflection of research: 10%;
