GS 318 - Quantitative Reasoning in Global Perspectives


This class focuses on quantitative approaches to complement global case-study design so students can use quantitative reasoning to understand real-world problems/issues relevant to their lives. Students study the basic elements of human inquiry, research design process, concepts, and critical understanding of statistics. Variable-oriented analyses complement national/global case studies by stressing the importance of historical trends from US and global data sources. In-class workshops explore case studies supported by quantitative analyses and seen through multiple conceptual lenses.
