Course Description

This course will introduce students to a range of analytic techniques, in a relatively practical ‘hands-on’ way, using secondary qualitative and quantitative data sources taken from research council funded projects on-going in the School of Social Science. Techniques include computer-based methods for the coding and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, and the associated use of the two software packages QSR NVivo and PASW (SPSS for Windows). All students undertaking the course are required to conduct and report on a quantitative data analysis of an appropriate large-scale social survey dataset that includes multivariate analysis using control variables.
