Fall This course is designed to introduce the student to the general theoretical and methodological framework of the behavioral and social sciences via an integrated approach which utilizes micro-level practical research projects as a vehicle for achieving this integration and understanding. The point of departure for the projects will be the social organization of society as seen primarily but not exclusively from a sociological perspective. The purpose of the research projects is to give the student experience in working with a variety of data sources eg. experiments, census data, content analysis, observation, interview and questionnaire, and public opinion polls. The student will have an opportunity to take the data thus obtained and to gain some experience in analysis using a variety of both descriptive and analytical statistics. (Honors Course)
