In addition to being introduced to basic statistical concepts and computer applications, the student will study how uncertainty is measured and how it is used for everyday decision-making. Throughout the course, the emphasis is on critical interpretation of social science data and on effective writing on topics that deal with uncertain situations and quantitative information.
