SOC 400 - Sociological Analysis

Institution:

Brigham Young University-Idaho

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: Math 108 or Math 221, Soc 340 Sociologists are interested in identifying and understanding patterns in society. Unfortunately, most of the patterns of interest to sociologists are impossible to verify through simplistic personal observations. Consequently, in order to better understand society, sociologists use various methods of data collection which often involve large samples of certain populations. Once collected these datasets can be analyzed in a number of different ways which tell us useful things about the populations we are curious about. The primary focus of this course will be to help you understand and apply certain quantitative tools that sociologists regularly use to identify, verify and interpret specifi c patterns among individuals, groups and societies. You will also have the opportunity to see fi rst-hand how the statistical analysis can be used to learn about your own sociological questions of interest. (Fall, Winter, Spring)
