Topics include survey construction, sampling strategies, the ethics of survey research, data collection, survey follow-up, data entry, and statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software. Students develop research questions for their project or thesis, and construct a pilot survey in this course.
