Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to teach basic statistical skills, concepts, and applications for social sciences.
Course Content: This course is designed for Social Sciences students to understand statistics and to apply it thoroughly when necessary. It starts with description, historical development and importance of statistics for the field. After explaining important concepts, the types of variables and the most important moments of the distribution are discussed in detail. Hypothesis tests, parametric tests, and nonparametric tests are provided in an applied manner (SPSS and R).

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Will be able to determine appropriate statistical modeling in social sciences.
2) Can use statistics in applied social studies
3) Can interpret the data and findings in social science studies with their knowledge on statistics.
4) Have an idea about the benefits and limits of quantitative studies.
5) Can use at least one statistical program (SPSS) and interpret the outputs of other programs.
